CoolHotmail: Hotmail Gets Cooler in India
Microsoft had spiced up their Windows Live Mail with CoolHotmail which offering hundreds of cool, unique domains/IDs too choose from targeting Indian users.
[Now Hotmail gets cooler with CoolHotmail!]
I see this as a respond to Yahoo! recent new email brands – Ymail and RocketMail.
What’s Cool?
Yahoo! offers two (three to be exact including @yahoo.com) different email domains/IDs to its user, Microsoft now has hundreds and increasing, including those well known @hotmail.com, @live.com and @msn.com to choose from. This is real cool!
So, instead of having the conventional @hotmail.com, you can now have @iamhot.in. How about @iamgod.in or maybe @coolcapricorn.com? You choose!
You can choose based on five main categories that reflects your personality. You might want to have email related to famous cities in India like Mumbai and Bangalore. How about famous Bollywood stars? or email that reflects who you are, what you like and what you don’t fit.
For Non Indians, too!
CoolHotmail is open to all and not just Indian users but as I said, Microsoft launched this service to cater the India email users because most of the domains are Internationalized Domain Name (IDN) domain names.
Anyway, there are couple of .coms to pick from if you do not prefer .in or .co.in domains. I’ve registered myself a @coolcapricorn.com email.
Cool Names Are Growing
In the future, CoolHotmail might add more and more cool domains based on users’ request.
So, if you can’t find the email ID you want, simple make a request and they will try to get the ID for you. What you need to do is fill up the request form, and tell them what you want.
I don’t see any @iamsuperman.in in the list, you might want to suggest this to Microsoft. :=)
OK, what’s next? Grab you cool if you will. Jump to CoolHotmail!
