   I remember signing up for #Gmail all those years ago with glee. Back then, #Microsoft email via #hotmail was a hot mess, while #Yahoo email was slightly better—but only in the sense that 💩 is better than 💩 🔛 🔥!!

   I am grateful that #Google launched Gmail as it did radically change my life for the better (privacy issues aside).

   I know folks will mention #Protonmail (which I have also checked out). I may sign up with the latter later on.

     @stefan I remember Orkut! I believe it was started as a “side project” by a Googler & became a huge hit in #Brazil 🇧🇷.

     Sadly the site is no more as users migrated over to #Facebook, but it was interesting & quirky in its own way.
