So.
If you didn't know I don't really support Gmail. This is mostly because I already had hotmail and have msn and think it would be a waste of time to change everything over to gmail and thus I have been avoiding it.
There are many 'good reasons' why I should just switch over to gmail. such as the whole idea of email threads or google chat (because everyone that has google chat does not have msn so they want me to get it).
The fact is that I already have a gmail account. In fact I actually use it when people ask for an email adress because its just easier. I mean its WAY shorter. xP It is also more proffesional... But it's just not what I am already doing......
Sometimes people don't like change. Sometimes just so that they don't have to change they will avoid new things, even ignoring it or just not listening to logical explainations. They just stick to what they are already doing.
Sometimes you just need to try it out. You just need to give it a chance.
Today gmail saved my life. I am starting to think about switching, but I don't want to... Today an hour before my Bio lab I had to print all of my bio lab report so I could hand it in. I hadn't emailed it to myself yet, so I was desperately trying to get onto hotmail on my laptop in te computer lab, but it has pretty bad wireless there. Hot mail would not load......... I even tried Firefox, which I also do not support because it would be a change. Nothing.
I then thought... What about gmail..?! So I tried it.
Guess what...? It worked... >.> This was after 40 minutes of trying to get onto hotmail... It worked on the second try. It worked.
Point being.... I may switch. I still think I need a bit more reason, but whatever. xP

-My Application for Project is finally done!!!! Finally!!! I've been getting emails and even phone calls from Guelph about 'are you still considering? It's the last day. You should hurry up. etc."
-Apparently 'idividualistic' and other derivatives of individual are very hard to say. Both RM and RL had quite a hard time. Maybe its just people named R..?
-KC went to DG! and he prayed on Sunday. I havn't heard him pray very much. I'm gonna try and take him to a pray meeting one of these days.
-My lame bio lab is finished.
Ttyl.

Gmail is waaaay superior for the following reasons:
ReplyDelete1) You already mentioned it, but the threads. Why hasn't anyone thought of this sooner???
2) A far superior e-mail search method. I've had yahoo and hotmail accounts. I still use them from time to time as my 'sign-up-for-random-contests-that-will-most-likely-get-you-spammed' account. I've tried to search through them for some old e-mails.... Seriously, gmail search is sooo much better!
3) Priority Inbox. This may or may not be helpful for you depending on your e-mail habits, but it can be extremely very helpful for some people.
4) Labels. A waaay better way of organizing e-mails than folders.
5) It's a much more "professional-sounding" e-mail domain to give out on resumes.
Just make the switch man!!
