Hotmail Trivia

• Hotmail is used in more than 220 countries and territories, more than the number recognized by the United Nations.
• If Hotmail's 190 million active accounts were citizens of a single country, it would be the world's 5th largest country, larger than Brazil (184mm), Pakistan (159mm), Russia (144mm) and Bangladesh (141mm).
• If connected hand-to-hand, the 190 million MSN Hotmail members would circle the Earth at the equator over five and a half times.
• MSN Hotmail e-mail service members number more than the combined population of the world's 20 largest cities.
• If all MSN Hotmail members were standing in single file, they would line the length of the Great Wall of China or the Nile River (the longest river in the world) over 17 times.
• In 2001 and 2003 MSN Hotmail was featured in the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's largest free Web-based e-mail service provider.
• MSN Messenger recently broke a record for 16 million users simultaneously online and IM'ing with one another. That's like all of Tokyo talking to at least one person in metro Chicago!
