Ars Technica has an article over the background behind Hotmail and how it aquired the stigma it has since its purchase back in 1997 for $450 million. Over the years it served as a showcase for several types of failure, including the inability of Windows servers to work in production or to scale.

    I think I might have used a service just like that (same layout, maybe same website), as well as a couple of other ones in an attempt to trick Google. But Google had blacklisted the numbers, making them utterly useless. I certainly like the idea though and it seems like something that could be used for other purposes.
