    Good thing I use mamma.com: The mother of all search engines

    You should give Dogpile a try.

  • So supposing I don't have a google account, no gmail, but have used the search engine through firefox. Am I prone to have my penchant for amputee porn broadcast throughout the world? I'd be O.K. with that. I just want to know.

    good thing i never turned on that feature.

    Question here: I don't have an awesome phone, and although it has an email feature I've been unable to figure out how to connect it to my @msu.edu account. I need to create an alternate account to forward my MSU emails to so I can get them to my phone. However, I will probably want to maintain this email address long-term, and have heard from some that gmail is preferable to something like yahoo or ymail for professional conversation such as job inquiries and what not.

    So, with the security concerns, should I go ahead and use gmail and just follow the history steps in this thread? (I've searched more than a thing or two in google I don't really want tracked) Or are these people telling me an @gmail account looks better just overblowing it and thus causing me to over think something trivial. TIA

  • Why the freakout over this? i dont see anything wrong with "ads tailored to you". could actually make some ads useful i.e. i found the MSU season ticket link through a google ad when i couldnt find it on the website.

    Use gmail and your name (or some version of it). I can't tell you how much I dislike reading a resume where the email address is hotmama@yahoo.com or some crap like that. lol

    I work for a company that asks our customers for an email address. I can't tell you how many "aol.com" or "comcast.net" providers I get. It's generally the old people or country bumpkins that use their cable providers servers.

    I judge on what email client/server people use.

    +1 to you and Snake. I wasn't going to do anything stupid left of the @, but it appears that what's right of it is relevant. Thanks.

    So, using my Netscape email address is ill-advised? lol

    I always use my @msu.edu address for anything official, or unofficial for that matter, even though I have it forwarded to my gmail address. Minus well let 'em know I'm a college boy, right?
