AOL email is now free!

AOL recently announced that they will begin to provide email accounts for free to compete with Yahoo! and Google. Many of their customers, myself included, left AOL because it was silly to pay for email when you could get it for free - especially if you are already paying for broadband. AOL was my first internet and email provider. I was used to them and their system. In fact, Yahoo! and Google don't look half as good as AOL to me. I am not even sure I like Google's email setup at all. It actually took me a long time to discontinue my AOL service. I was just giving them money - month after month. I was worried about transferring everything over and losing contact with people. Thanks AOL. I can now reclaim my old email address (if I even still want it). Supposedly, all you have to do is login with your old username and password to reactivate your email. This story will be interesting to follow. Will AOL make an email comeback with free email? Should Yahoo! and Google be worried? To read the full story, click here.
