GMail Gyaan

Just realized that GMail doesn't give a damn about the dots in a gmail id. An e-mail sent to suraksha.r@gmail.com or su.raksh.a.r@gmail.com or surakshar@gmail.com or s.u.r.a.k.s.h.a.r@gmail.com all comes to me. Hee!

@Sheks:
It happens in every case. If you feel strong about it, then try registering a gmail account with the dot placed at random in ur existing email id...

@Suraksha:

google is intelligent and does want to create confusion among users

@tu:

@sheks:

@S:
Don't u get the point. It actually sucks. What a wastage of the dot operator... They could have used it better. Google should work around this. I means if a person gets a gmail id ganesh, he blocks a permutation combination of no less than 720 email ids... which in my opinion is pretty dumb...

Regarding wp, how about spam control?

S said...

@gapp:
forgive the lack of thought.

and wp - i don't really have a spam problem here at blogger! :)
