Basic names are probably all taken. Try using a combination/abbreviated/altered spelling name if you have not all ready.
Whatever works for you.Yes i do... But it's horrible a username full of number.
A friend have solved the problem with an username that is not a nickname and not the name.surname But like an object as "postofficemailbox@" or "mydigitalpostoffice@"
(They are only example)
What do you think about?
I remember in 2013 when Yahoo wipe email accounts that haven't been used for a number of years, and allowed the username usable again. Why don't Google and Apple do this every year? What is the reason for them not to do this?
A new system needs to be placed, usernames/emails are getting very tiring. I wonder what is the successor to those.Most of them weren't tied to Yahoo Mail, and weren't being logged into at all. There are people who use Google in general, but not their Gmail inboxes. Likewise, most people probably don't use iCloud, but use their Apple IDs. It's the same thing with Microsoft.
That's not the case with Yahoo these days. There was a time you had an ID for the games client, Geocities, YIM, etc, but most of it is gone now.
You're also talking about usernames that had probably been abandoned for 10+ years.
What's tiring about that? Phone numbers are probably more tiring in a sense, and we've had those for decades and decades. What would be better?A new system needs to be placed, usernames/emails are getting very tiring. I wonder what is the successor to those.
Ah, good old Juno. Don't really recall having a hard time signing up though as my first option went through fine.This makes me think about when I was first trying to set up my Juno account way back in the free dial up days.
After trying about 30 different name combinations I frustratingly typed in fallopiantubes. It took :|
My first adult e-mail was fallopiantubes@juno.com
I don't know, but something is broken if a username once taken, can't be ever reused. I'm think we will just use our names, as YouTube did a few years ago.What's tiring about that? Phone numbers are probably more tiring in a sense, and we've had those for decades and decades. What would be better?
I agree, and you can still use Gmail though the product for custom domains is branded under Google Apps.
Honestly, if you have a business, and you're doing any sort of professional correspondence through email, you should spend the $12 on a domain, and use some kind of email service that uses that domain (i.e., yourname@bigbiz.com), then you can also setup some aliases like info@, or sales@
Google apps is $5/month, that's not only Email (Gmail), but Docs, Drive, several other services, loads of capacity, etc.
