customer?
have you paid anything to use their service?
and elitefitness is still hosted on the hushmail servers and it is licensed out by elite.

I agree all this stuff is very annoying, but then again, I don't envy them having to deal with the huge migration and the whole pile of suck that java is.

 

[Big Johnson]

The SAME damn thing happened to me. I lost everything. I'll shoot you an email later, bro. I need to get to work.

Peace.

yes, hushmail users are customers. the fact that you dont pay anything doesnt mean shit all. hotmail is also free, but microsoft bought it for $300 million. so the users must be worth something. advertising + data mining = big business. if hushmail is losing costumers, they're losing money cause their value is dropping. dont think that hushmail is in just to be nice.

1) has hushmail every collected any info about you?

2) have you ever seen an ad on hushmail? (not elite - elite licenses it and uses it for extra ad space - that is different)

I don't know about you, but they have zero information about me other than what IPs I've hit their servers from.

What I don't think you picked up on with Husmail is that they make 100% of their revenue from companies licensing their software or their servers (like elite).

you aren't a customer of them, you are using their free service - George Spellwin IS a customer of them.

 

[HappyScrappy]

also you can buy extra space and then you are a customer, but if you haven't done that nor licensed their software and/or servers, then I maintain that you can't complain about a totally free service... or you can complain about it all you want, but look silly.

 

[freshr1]

Yes, but Hush's users are promoting the service by using it. Nobody, including George, would use their product if it didnt have a proven concept behind it. George probably went with it because so many EF users are using the service already. So yes, the customers are important, if they werent, then why the hell would Hushmail even bother to support free users? Out of kindness? No.

 

[HappyScrappy]

heh heh, alrighty then. well I suppose neither of us are going to agree with the other, so I'll just agree to disagree.
and done.

either way, I like the technology, I'm just not that impressed with their current deployment of it or lackthereof.

 

[freshr1]

Yeah, their Java based service is complete shite. I much prefer ZipLip.
