I love email. Iapos;m one of those people who can quite happily ponder the world pre-email, and steadfastly believe that - had email not appeared - the Earth as we know it would have imploded at an fantastic rate, and with such force as to absorb some of the sun and a few surrounding planets as well.
Email is good.
Without a doubt, you shouldnapos;t need convincing there are people who agree with me. My day consists of emailing people who sit within a couple of meters radius of me, simply because they apos;prefer it,apos; and the breadth of webmail providers out there seems to be providing an ever-increasing demand for this medium.
Why then, is it so bloody hard to find a decent email address?
Iapos;m a bit finicky when it comes to email. I like a nice firstnamelastname[at]mail[dot]com, or Initial+Surname[at] (e.g. Jsmith[at]blah[dot]com) ... And so on and so forth. Now ... A quick search on Facebook will tell you, yes - there is more than one person out there with the same name as me. Further searches reveal that even more people have my Initial+Surname. But when those people, divided into the number of webmail providers out there, factoring in a (small) margin of error - surely I should be able to get a nice, simple email address that meets my aesthetic needs, demand for storage, and offers an interface that my beloved workplace will allow (Gmail is blocked because it apos;constantly refreshesapos;, chewing up valuable bandwidth).
No. You canapos;t. Often, I am convinced that some lughead has made their way around the internet, and stolen all the good names, simply because they can. The creation of Windows Live Mail - formerly Hotmail - should have afforded me the opportunity to create that desired firstnamelastname[at]live[dot]com, but No Somebody had beaten me to it, and seized the opportunity for the perfect email address. The tears canapos;t be far away.
As always, my faith in the human race keeps me grounded during this particularly difficult time. One day, Yahoo and Gmail will start recycling IDapos;s, and allow me to pick one that I love. Microsoft will undoubtedly create a new domain in the near future, and the race will be on to beat my email-stealing nemesis.
One day. But not today.
Here come those tears.
