ENGINEERING.com today announced the launch of its newest service called Engineering Mail, an email service for registered members. The service has been in pre-release testing with over 1,000 existing members for several weeks. The company is now making the service available to all engineers, engineering students and other members of the engineering community.
The new service provides two things that the big players such as Google, Yahoo and Microsoft’s Hotmail cannot. The ENGINEERING.com domain name identifies the member as belonging to the worldwide engineering community. This is particularly important to students and experienced engineers when looking for a new job, or in other instances when a professional presentation is required. The advantage over the big players is that members can find an email address under their own name. This allows people with popular names, such as John Smith, to register an account without using underscores, additional characters, or even numbers.
“The great thing about an ENGINEERING.com email address is that not everybody is going to be rushing out to get one. Not every John Smith is going to be looking for an ENGINEERING.com email account, because not every John Smith is an engineer,” said John Hayes, President of ENGINEERING.com. “This will make it easier for people to find an email account with their own name. And more importantly, our service allows members to present themselves in a more professional manner than other existing email services.”
Engineers and engineering students seeking their own ENGINEERING.com email address can visit www.ENGINEERING.com/Mail to register for an account.
ENGINEERING.com [TSXV: EGN] is the developer-owner of ENGINEERING.com an Internet based software and business. ENGINEERING.com offers hosted and deployed engineering software and services to manufacturers, design consultants and engineering academia around the world.
