    Jesus Google, you're top 3 in Email... maybe you can give us fucking push now? The lowest one on the damn chart offers one of the most superior features that you continue to lack. #creditscores

    @Barclay Hygaard: Thanks for that link. I looked into it, but it requires you to enter it in as MS exchange, which I'm already using for my business email.

    Why can't they simply enable push for all users the way Yahoo does? #creditscores

    I use Yahoo and Hotmail just because they are web based and my credit score is higher than this chart even goes. Once again, I screw up the "norm". #creditscores

    @Curves: I fail to understand that logic since GMail is also web based. I've used GMail from the beginning, dumping my hotmail and yahoo accounts. They were just horrible email clients. #creditscores

    @gemcosta: Just a personal preference since I am anti-google. Too much of a Big Brother feel for me. I have a Gmail account, but rarely use it, and in fact, have it auto forwarded to a yahoo account. #creditscores

    @Curves: I think you're confusing "successful" with "Big Brother". I'm guessing you don't use IE either. #creditscores

    @Curves: If you use the internet, you're using Google. Practically every single page you go, anywhere (including this one), is using their Analytics package.

    Embrace the Goog, come on. :P #creditscores

    Whats the low end of a credit score? I don't know since I dont worry about mine being low (and I dont want to find out the low the hard way), but the commercials on TV say "650-850" but Yahoo's average is below 650... wtf. #creditscores

    @phunnyballs: It can go as low as 300, and as high as 900. But most scores are around the 600-700 range these days. If you pay your bills in full every time, have no debt, keep everything in order, you should easily have an 800 or more. #creditscores

    Good job Gizmodo following up on the story to highlight the other providers. You guys and Neowin are the only ones that have done this.

    The rest of the blogs seem to be content on letting Microsoft take the brunt of the bad publicity.

    Did they say how long it took for the list to come together? I remember awhile back I got a funny looking email saying that somebody had tried to hack my gmail account and I needed to change my password. It gave a convincing link, but I changed it from my account settings manually and totally deleted the email.

    The email I got was pretty convincing, it really looked like it may have come from Google. I just changed it and watched my account closely for a while afterward.

    @bagellord: Just assume that any official email won't have a link to do anything. It'll just tell you what to do, and let you do it yourself ("manually" if you will)

    That is why I only send communications with a pen and paper since this information superhighway stuff is just too trixy. Don't be a geek - toss that computer into your bathtub and set your spirit free!

    Or, sure - use different passwords for each site, change them regularly, and don't fall for emails with bad grammar with a link asking you to adjust your Gmail password that connects you to an IP address in Guatemala.

    Tossing the computer in the bathtub is more fun, though.
