When I got out from college, i created my gmail account via a invitation link from a friend (In 2006, there were invitation based sign-up).
I created gmail id without any dots in it and just firstnamelastname@gmail.com, Later I joined as software engineer in a company, I came to know that good email is firstname.lastname@company.bla format, so I wanted to have my gmail id as firstname.lastname@gmail.com
But it wasn't available. I was so desperate to have it that I decided to email the person who owns it, so I emailed on the id (having dot in it). Guess What!
I received my own email, requesting myself to handover the id.
Then I did some tests to know if dot is making any sense or not. so tested like first.name.last.name etc. Found this link way back then. Great to know that someone else found it after so long :) |
