The old pre iCloud MobileMe domain was great for this... You could have flingpoo@me.com, for example.
LOL... :biggrin:

This.@aol means not tech savvy.
@hotmail.com could mean old school or hasn't kept up with the times
@gmail.com seems to give a better impression
@yahoo.com - eh...either way
@domain.com - best impression
I would frankly look down on an applicant because of that email address and I am dead serious. For a tech job it would be damn near a killer. It's kind of like sending in a paper resume printed on a dot matrix.
How about live? that's another that I can use...
Register your own domain for $10.69/yr and look more professional/uber nerd?
Whateveryouwant@yourdomain.com = win?
Can't construct a rational story for why gmail gives a better impression than other domains, but it does.
Find a service like this for e-mail instead of urls
I wouldn't hire anyone using one.
When Gmail was introduced, it was cool - You needed an invite to get past the velvet rope. Most of the early Gmailers were in IT, so people had the impression (correct at the time) that someone with a gmail.com address had a higher level of tech understanding. Though no longer true, that impression still gives gmail.com some Gravitas.
