Indeed, one surprise here is that Cyrus is still around.

Sad that gmail now owns ~50% of all email now though.

(I made that number up. Anyone have any idea how close it may be?)



For personal email addresses in the US, my experience would put that number closer to 80%. In some audiences, it'll be even higher.


And even for the people who have non-Gmail accounts, Google has made deals with a ton of ISPs to host their email service for them -- so you have a Gmail account even if don't have a Gmail account (in a manner of speaking).


Do people still use ISP email addresses?


Yes people do. I know a lot of people don't, but there are still a lot of people who do.
