Have you seen what AOL is offering for free now; it's their email addresses! I know that they've been offering this as a free service for some time now, but have you checked out the updates they've made to this service? Well let me just tell you that if you need a new email provider, AOL are the ones to go to now. In this article I am going to talk about why I'm switching to AOL by telling you about my favorite new things they're offering.

- Better interface
Talk about a fresh interface! You haven't seen something like this on Yahoo, Gmail, or MSN in a while. Although MSN's colors look very fresh, the AOL interface just looks great with the colors they've chose to use; you can even customize it so that it shows in your favorite colors. The buttons are also really easy to find now, there's no more hidden things that you had to go and look for; although I still don't see a delete account button which is about the only thing I don't like about AOL services.

- Calendar Rocks
The calendar that you're provided by AOL this time is nothing like the others either. You can view day, week, and month calendars and you share them, print them, and even have a to-do list to go along with it. The to-do list can always be brought up from anywhere in your mail, you don't have to be in your calendar. The calendar also allows you to send yourself reminders to your mobile device as you wish and you can even get emails to notify you of an event or a to-do list that's coming up and you need to go to or get done.

- Web Buddy List
The only ones I know that have this going on are Yahoo and Gmail, but now AOL has joined in! Yes, they have the most awesome buddy lists ever to me, because not only can you chat with your AOL and AIM buddies, but you can also chat with people who are on cell phones. Sending SMS messages back and forth with your friends will never be so easy. You can even add them to your buddy list to have access to them at all times; you don't even have to do anything for this. You can also send emotions with this web messenger, and share all kinds of things with your buddies.
