"A Cooler Hotmail?"
The very first email account that I ever had was Hotmail. I currently use my UD school account for the majority of my email traffic and I have recently signed up with a gmail account via google. Microsoft's Hotmail was the first email system available followed by Yahoo and then Google to name a few. Even though Hotmail still hold the title for the most users worldwide, they are of course in competition with Yahoo and Google which offer more features. One of the reasons that aided to the decline of hotmail users was due to a lack of new features and updated capabilities. Microsoft has a plan of action for this upcoming summer when they unveil a new version of Hotmail in hopes of increasing the subscribers with the upgraded qualities. They are calling it Microsoft X. Soon, inbox and outbox messages will be filtered into four buckets based upon who sends the email, whether it be a known contact, mail from a social network, a business email or even spam. This service is not offered by any other email services yet, so Microsoft has high hopes.
Another great feature is that hotmail will enable photos to be stored directly into the account with a link allowing the user to send the image to other emails. This will eliminate the need for tools to view bulky content. You will also be able to unsubscribe to newsletters, engage in conversation threads and SSL support. Overall, I think Hotmail will attract users from other email services once they learn about the new Microsoft X email and its useful new content.
