What does your Email say about you?

I love this post and I come back to it time and time again.  However, it is now both out of date and also needs further commenting.  First, though, go take a look and enjoy the original here:

COOL CARTOON THAT EXPLAINS HOW YOUR EMAIL REPRESENTS YOU

Here are my updates, and I’d love any extras or edits you could provide to make it better:

@hotmail

  • still sends out warnings about the latest email scams
  • is likely from China and thinks this is a way to be more north american, much like changing their name from Wong Wing-Luen to Wayne Wong or Hsien Yang Lee to Stanford Lee – except they missed the memo that fluffybunny2259111@hotmail.com might not land them the dream job…

@gmail

  • thinks that gmail is somehow more secure than hotmail
  • is in denial that google is an american spy agency with sociopathic tendencies
  • thinks that it’s totally ok for google to spy on their inbox and GPS location in exchange for such a great free email and creepy-accurate search engine
  • says ‘I don’t have anything to hide’ when someone explains the violation of their privacy
  • runs google stuff on their iphone just to be sure no one accuses them of being slave to just one task master
  • is surprised, even horrified about what google has seen of their private life, yet continues to use it
  • periodically watches CNN news
  • Godaddy is ‘alright with them’

@icloud

  • got an ipad for christmas from their kids or grandkids and since it ain’t broke why try to fix it?
  • forwards videos of pets doing funny things and historic ones of when things were better
  • think they are really becoming ‘techies’ and use the word ‘techie’ regularly

@outlook

  • think that real business people use Microsoft
  • teach business courses at the local college
  • run small book keeping businesses
  • pay lots of money for anti-virus software and buy a new computer (with Windows) when Windows slows it down
