What’s wrong with a @aol.com email address?
Every few months I’ll get handed a business card or get an email from someone who has an email address @aol.com. I always recommend getting a new address. AOL hasn’t been a big name in the web for years and they’re pretty much a laughing point now. An email @google.com or @yahoo.com would be a […]
