To think the first recorded message ever to be sent across the Internet was transmitted at 10.30PM on October 29 1969. The message consisted of the letters 'L' and 'O'.
Since then the number of e-mails sent has risen to a whopping 97 billion per day in 2007. Now you can read and reply to mail from all your other e-mail accounts, including Gmail and Yahoo! Mail, without leaving Hotmail. You can also get all your network updates from Twitter and Facebook sent to the same place.
Littered among the daily deluge of spam, personal e-mails, and business correspondence lurk some embarrassing yet newsworthy fodder.
