Think I&#8217;m crazy?<\/p>\n<p>What particularly seems funny to me is when I am handed a business card which shows the company website, such as <strong>www.xyz.com<\/strong>, and then the person&#8217;s e-mail address is <strong>bob@hotmail.com<\/strong>. While many people won&#8217;t think that anything is amiss there, those who are more savvy will wonder why Bob doesn&#8217;t realize that he can have a <strong>bob@xyz.com<\/strong> e-mail address (where &#8220;xyz&#8221; would be his actual domain).<\/p>\n<p>So if you own your own domain, and have a website, use a domain e-mail! You can have <strong>anything@your domain.com<\/strong> and it is more consistent, looks way more professional, and makes you look like you know what you&#8217;re doing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A\u00a0friend asked me to write a short article on this topic, so here it goes: Ever think of the impression your e-mail address makes?
