Why hotmail is bad

Hotmail launched in as one of the first public webmail services. Originally stylized as HoTMaiL to highlight its web-based existence HTML provides the building blocks for most web pages and because mixing cases was inexplicably popular at the time, Hotmail offered everything that ISP-based email did not. Most notably, while its contemporaries were tied to a specific device, users could access Hotmail from any computer all over the world.

That legacy is why some may see Hotmail holdouts in as people who lack technological knowledge. But he also noted that there is a dearth of candidates for the IT jobs for which he recruits. Job candidates submit a lot of information about themselves in an attempt to woo potential employers.

Conventional wisdom often leads them to top their resumes with a summary statement and previous employment history, segueing to academics, awards and other miscellanea. Chris J. Collins, associate professor of human resource management studies at Cornell University, questions if any of it matters.

In his estimation, there is absolutely nothing to be gleaned from an email domain. At the Seattle Times, news developer Thomas Wilburn is occasionally involved in hiring and assists in picking interns. Because development in newsrooms is still a relatively young profession, Wilburn said, no two newsroom developers have the same experience.

That means developers often look for ways to determine the technical aptitude of colleagues and potential employees. A Hotmail address might be considered a novelty among the tech-savvy, but not grounds for tossing away a resume before interviewing a person.

Applicants could take two paths to argue that, under federal law, this could be discriminatory, said Stephanie Bornstein, an associate professor of law at the University of Florida. This is known as disparate treatment. This is known as disparate impact. In the second case, the applicant would need to prove, with statistics, that the policy or practice disproportionately affected older people.

Just to try it out. I won't tell anyone you caved. My mom insists that any email sent to her is public domain and she can do what she wants with it — like forward without permission. Is that true?

And even if it isn't true, how do I get her to stop? You mean besides sending it to your dad, or your other mom, and your grandparents, and your siblings, and maybe your mom's best friend too, right? Because that is just a built-in part of parents and email, I think. But also, ummm, no, that is not technically accurate.

While email might assume less privacy than an in-person conversation, it's still fair for you to think your personal emails to your mom are just that. Again, within the bounds of this-is-your-family-we're-talking-about reason. She's just excited and proud of you! Or else really mad — I'm not actually sure what your specific emails are about.

But probably the former, in all likelihood, and that's nice, but you need to let her know the forwarding isn't accomplishing what she thinks it is. Here's what you say to your mom in person or on the phone!

Sometimes I just want to talk to you about certain things, because usually you know how to respond, and I want to know I can count on keeping things between us until I want to share my news with other people. I don't know why anyone introduces anyone to anyone else. The best-case scenario is that the two people you're introducing, whom you already know and like, end up liking each other a lot, so you start worrying whether they'll like each other more than they like you.

The worst-case scenario is that they hate each other, which makes both of them hate you at least a little bit for having such bad taste in other people. It's too stressful! That's why whenever I'm introduced to anyone, I avert my eyes and remove myself from the situation. This article details 10 technical and ethical reasons about why Hotmail is not a good choice.
