Although people like me have had hotmail email addresses for over ten years, it does not mean that using this address in the workplace is either credible or professional. I do not think that using a common, free email looks good on a resume to a top tier law firm. Nor does sending emails to prospective clients or even new social networking associates with an email that is littered with ads seem an approach that means that people will take you seriously. Using the email address provided to you by your Internet Service provider does not look much better (In Australia the ominous bigpond.com.au address prevails) and both of these have the disadvantage that the services could end at any time.

I have found a solution (I have not been paid for this) that will provide you with reliable, free, professional looking email for the price of going to a movie once a year. It also means that you can get your own name at your domain (andrew rather than and0ew8492 or similar that you will get at hotmail).

Mind mapping is method of brainstorming that uses visual cues for putting thoughts onto paper. This produces an easy to read result that is visual, fun, fast and creative.

From these nodes, further branches are drawn. This can create a web like image, ideas can further be linked via arrows - In a short period of time many connections can be drawn for a single word.
