Google search – the problem.
I am a very big fan of Google – not just their search engine, but also Google Apps and various other applications or services.

Your email address should belong to you, not your internet service provider (ISP).
For most people online, their email address is a vital component of life. So much hinges on it. It surprises me that so many people are still using the email address provided by their Internet service provider (ISP). I stopped using mine in the 1990′s, when I started using domain based email.
