Coolhotmail.com gives you all the features of Windows Live Hotmail with 5 GB of storage, improved spam protection and customizable design, but under a distinct email address. Microsoft believes that uniqueness of email address matters, and reflects the identity of the person who uses it.
Custom domain names have been categorized into 5 different groups – Where I live, Who I like, Who am I, What I like and I Don’t fit. For instance, if you live in Bangalore, you can sign up for an email address like yourname@bangalorerocks.in. Or maybe, if you are a soccer fan, you can sign up for yourname@ilovesoccer.in.
Microsoft is making every possible endeavor to beat other email service providers in India. I’m not sure whether Microsoft will be successful in luring the Indian crowd, but I disagree with the fact that postfix (@xxx.xx) of any email address has anything to do with the identity of any individual. If anybody wants a true unique email address, they just have to buy a domain name and sign up with Google Apps for free. I think, that’s a better option, if you are so mad about uniqueness of your email address.
