Ask The Readers: Is Your Email Address Sensible?

June 14th 2007   Ask The Readers   3 comments

Have you ever looked at someone’s resume or business card and noticed their email address was something quirky like eatyomama@genericmail.com? Has it altered your perception of that person? While I’m sure most people wouldn’t use an email address like xxxhardcore@ubermail.com to publicize themselves, in your opinion does having a sensible email like peterparker@spidermail.com over a more imaginative one have much influence?

I think it’s important to have a sensible email address. It gives some credibility to you. At the same time, I don’t think it has to be bobsmith@domain.com. It might be something creative like blogexpert@domain.com. OK, that’s not especially creative, but you get the idea.

Definitely it is important. When we were just getting started, my husband picked ‘bile13′ as his email address. Then it came time to tell business people it and he had to come up with a respectable name. Besides, simple names are much easier to spell.
