Google Trend chart which shows that still Hotmail continues to be the most searched or accessed product in the Internet compared to Gmail or Yahoo Mail. This obviously means that hotmail is the hottest product still in the email applications. People try to search a lot about hotmail, it’s help, tricks, tips etc compared to the Gmail.
Hotmail continues it’s grip in countries like Malaysia , Ireland, Spain
As a avid Gmail user, this trend patten made me dig in to hotmail and check what is so different in hotmail.
These are the features that could make hotmail out perform Gmail.
- Outlook like Right & Bottom Pane Reading
- Unlike Gmail, Hotmail asks the user to add an Unlisted email to add into contacts. This is one feature that I like and I don’t like Gmail. Sometimes you might forget to add an address, but at the same time you might feel it handy. But this actually makes your address book like a spam book.
- Very fast accessing of mail compared to Gmail. Just a click, you will read the mail at that instance.
- No labels, makes organizing the mails simple.
If anyone can find more reason of this pattern, please share your thoughts.
