i'm Charity by users initiative extended to hotmail & msn users

[iMav]

yup, now users like you and me can also do some charity simply by using the above services.

The i’m™ Initiative from Microsoft™ makes helping social causes easy. Every time you use Windows Live™ Messenger or Windows Live Hotmail®, our free webmail service, we'll share a portion of our advertising revenue with some of the world's most effective social cause organizations. Exactly how much will we share with our partner causes? Well, that’s up to you and the growing masses of registered i’m Initiative users. The more messages you send, the more we give.

this service was introduced to MSN Messenger & Hotmail users too, but only for US residents, however by changing the country in hotmail options to US you can also do your bit.

Now that's really cool initiative by Microsoft

What are they going to donate for charity when they hardly get any users compared to other IM services. Yahoo should have done something like this...

You must see this graph.


Its Google search trend chart which shows Hotmail is most searched or accessed term in the Internet compared to Gmail or Yahoo Mail. Ans this proves that hotmail is the hottest product still in the email applications. People search a lot about hotmail, it’s help, tricks, tips etc compared to the Gmail/ yahoomail.

Ha Ha. This shows that the word Hotmail is unknown for most of the world. People search about the term Hotmail to know does something like this exist. While Gmail & Yahoo Mail is well known and popular among Netizens, no need to search for it

[Pathik]

^^ Hahah. Exactly

@iMav

If this is true and MS is giving $$$ to charity as stated in the web page, it is sure a good thing. I am using hotmail and its web interface very rarely, but I use MSN messenger almost all the day. I changed my name as per the instructions and the iM image appears near my name. Lil annoying but as its for a good cause, I will keep it. Thanks for sharing the info.

@Ravi

When people hear something new (for example Windows XP SP3) they jump into google and search for it and naturally the term become popular in searches, but that does not mean the product is very hot, every one use it, it is the best etc. I mean, I am not against hotmail (it is all about personal choice, I find gmail far better in all options and interface wise) but the logic you explained with the graph does not sound correct.

Also, that post is slightly offtopic and may lead to another war I fear

Strictly offtopic ....

Some interesting links (offtopic, please do not continue on this !!!)

The Lies Of Top Search Terms Of The Year

Google Trends (You can make the graph here - official google page)

And this is the graph I got when I tried with yahoo,hotmail,gmail - in google trends (just shows how different it is !)

[CadCrazy]

[dheeraj_kumar]

Well, we used to get messages like "my dad has a heart surgery to undergo and it costs rs.100000 send this message to everyone in your list and i get 10 paise for each person you send it to"

M$ just found a way to implement that.

What ever you think....... but people search for hotmail tips and tricks. One thing special about Digit forum is that..when Linux Or google do...everyone appreciate, but when its MS product, either good or bad, everyone just started finding negetive aspects.

^^^^ well,that is because M$haft is such a monopolistic corporation.everything they laid hand on,they made it difficult to ppl."Embrace, extend and extinguish" is what M$haft stands for.

"OK, I know a lot of people are saying Microsoft's bad, and they were taken to court for something. But, like, why?" If that's you, then you need to read this story right away. After all, not everyone who visits this site knows what makes Microsoft so bad. So we dropped a line to Timothy Macinta, the author of this very informative piece from KMFMS.com, and he delivered. Even if you're a battle-hardened warrior against the Redmond army, you'll probably learn things here that you didn't know. Educate yourself.

This site will let M$ ppl grow brain

Thats for you..not for me. I know most here use XP and Vista and that too pirated version...and after that also they says MS sucks. In this forum only, more than 50% linux supporter use XP or Vista, and after that also they says it is bad.

[iMav]

it's really sad to see that people will not even appreciate the good done by some 1, but well i guess some one was right when he made the following comment:
