ive been on the internet since...i dunno...AOL-dial up. and when youtube came on the scene it repalced mtv videos. anyways i just got a google email address and i find i can comment on any youtube thing i want! may not be a big deal to you young people but it is to me. no moderators in youtube comments!!!! here we go!!!!

Magic 8-ball says ask again later. but seriously good or bad, its how you use it.
you can comment on many things besides youtube. many websites can cross verify logins. so you can log into many things with your e-mail credentials, any google site, toms hardware, yahoo to name a few.

you can log into yahoo..with google?

I log into tomshardware via my google account with my yahoo address and password.
for a while now, facebook, yahoo, microsoft, etc have had the ability to login with credentials from the other site. you as the account holder must enable the features. you link the accounts.

smh....what happened to hotmail then?

 

[R_1]

swallowed by microsoft, you can still access hotmail accounts through outlook.live.com.
you can still get/setup a hotmail account at outlook live.

Hotmail being microsoft, they and Google have never got on. Loads of people still with Hotmail accounts (including me) but to register a new Microsoft account, it will be either '@live, or @outlook'
Too much change going on recently. Its become a multi billion (if not trillion) dollar game of power...

pisses me off cuz my steam account was under a hotmail account. DID YOU KNOW!!!!!lol...i am the first colonelblake (from mash) all small case, on steam when it was a anti-cheat. now there are THOUSANDS of colonelblake's of all manner of caps and ~tilde's and number leets. when steam was announced it was a anticheat competetor to punkbuster. when WON was cracked (my clan was involved from firearmsmod) and a long thing about CS and pcgamer, gabe (yes newell) took over and the rest is history.
