With the spread of the internet and a number of social networks on the rise, many people believe that email is becoming outdated and unnecessary, but the truth is that 90% of the things you do on the internet, even today, they will need, or needed an email address of yours and that was active.
Email is not just for exchanging messages and maintaining a list of contacts you haven't seen in years. It is your virtual address and if it is the same for everything you do - see registration on Youtube , Facebook and etc. - it becomes your digital identification. It may sound like an exaggeration for you who have no idea how many thousands of spans your email box has been accumulating over the months of inactivity, but for people who make purchases on the internet, payment and virtual receipts, media management or even even though you lose your Google account password, your email will rarely be filled with cobwebs.
Having an email is important, because everything you do today on the internet will need it.
That is why today we are going to talk about the precursor of webmails, Hotmail . You will learn many things, such as logging in to Hotmail and security tips.
The internet we know today is, in fact, overwhelmingly influenced by Google , Microsoft and Apple , but it is from Microsoft that the first Webmail came. The Hotmail , created in 1996 by two Indian (Bhatia and Smith) and sold to Bill Gates in 1997, has led several long names such as Windows Live Hotmail , but in the mouth of the people only worked Hotmail and popularized. Its strength is so great that even nowadays people are not seen calling it by any other name, except for new users who already knew what it is like today.
It was the first e-mail of thousands of people and it is even mine. To get a sense of its greatness (without exaggerating the "grandiose"), it is estimated that Hotmail has more than 300 million users around the world, although its competitors are competing for the leadership together. For years running, there was only room for him and no one else.
Hotmail has merged with Outlook to bring performance and usage improvements, as well as a cleaner, more fluid appearance. Even if you feel lost due to the nomenclature, it's all the same! Do not freak out.
When Hotmail unified itself with Outlook, as Microsoft decided to change the email service completely, Hotmail email became only the third domain used for new registrations. In the eyes of users, the change made affected the database - programming information - more than the visual one, as Outlook used a lot of Hotmail, such as its functions and settings. But it is wrong to say that the change was not perceptive.
The look was cleaner, intuitive and dynamic. In addition, of course, now being in tune with Skype, Skydrive and all Outlook services. Now let's get to what really matters! See how to register Hotmail and learn how to enter Hotmail .
