Outlook.com

Thoughts? I've just registered a couple of accounts as I prefer "outlook.com" over "hotmail.com". Not that I really use free accounts much what with owning my domain. I personally quite like it, has a clean look to it. Certainly a lot better than Hotmail.

Write up here...

Cheers for that, good tip on picking up a couple of names.

Good marketing push to get the w8 theme out there. Can't say I have much need for anything beyond gmail at this point but always good to stake claim on names.

Nice one blurr. In there early to bag an email address.

Don't expect it to remain ad free for more than six months btw. It'll be spammed and bollocks by spring.

I see you can also login with your hotmail account too. Saves grabbing another free account!

GroovYF · 01-Aug-2012, 09:11

Yeah I spotted that after creating a new one, doh! Once logged into normal Hotmail account you can create a new Outlook.com ID

This is useful, it looks like you can have as many aliases as you want

I was just going to post about the fact you can create aliases without having to create new accounts to bag names. Just found that out by accident when I was looking to link another account.

The only difference between this and hotmail is the word! Hotmail has changed and looks like this.

Bilb · 01-Aug-2012, 11:47

I've gone and created an account and snapped up a few decent aliases

I managed to a snag a doz@, not that I am likely to use it much, but you never know. Cheers for the heads up!

Read the First part of the thread and went off and registered 3 names. Should have kept reading.
