About three weeks ago I signed up for yet another free email address at zenbe.com. My friends know me as the one with about seven hundred email addresses and are sometimes paralyzed from not knowing which of the seven hundred email addresses they should actually use to actually contact me. I really thought that once I got my gmail account, I’d settle down a bit, but then came along Zenbe.
The first sign of love is the fact that my first name plain and simple was not taken. With gmail, I was scouring for an elusive invite for months for the precise reason that I wanted my name without crap after it. I guess I just wasn’t cool enough to get an invite before June 2004, and I was choked when gmail wouldn’t give me my first name plain and simple and I had to settle for dot first letter of my last name.
So now I have this lovely email address with Zenbe, I need to actually start using it. But it’s hard. I commend them for even going forth and being the new free email on the block, going against well established giants like hotmail, yahoomail, and gmail. I see all the lovely features they boast, all wrapped up in a very pretty package of calming colors and lotus flowers, and I want to use it… And they make it easy to import your calendar and email contacts and everything… But something is still holding me back. Moving is hard, even if only digitally.
