I have had a Hotmail account for years. I didn't realize how much Hotmail lacked until I got a beta Gmail account (thank you Terry!). Gmail provides a whopping 1GB of space. The main thing I like about Gmail is the Label function and its email search capabilities. Took a while to get used to the new navigation interface, but once you get used to it, it becomes second nature.
Hotmail has way too many pop-ups and cookies (Freaking Avenue A!). Big limitation used to be the 2MB of storage, but just this week I noticed I now have 250MB of storage. Why didn't they make a big deal about this?
Bottom-line, now I check both email accounts. I only give out my Gmail address to get weaned off of Hotmail, but its just not that easy with as many newsletters and contacts that have my Hotmail address...
I'm sure Hotmail will continue to improve as Microsoft is the master of making things only as good for the consumer as competition forces them to. Right now, my vote is for Gmail.
First 3 comments will receive a Gmail invitation from me if you would like one.
Please I use an excrement of account of the IG of 2 megas, it sends me an invitation for the gmail.
Send me my mail please. julianamacaerj@ig.com.br
Thanks.Kisses.

How do you get a Gmail account?

Rose,
You have to receive an invitation from an existing Gmail user. I send out invitations from time to time when I get extras from Gmail.
Check back frequently to see if I have extras to give out.
Thank you for checking out my blog!
