Gmail Users are Younger, Richer, Good in Bed
Unsurprisingly, perhaps, the latest stats show that Gmail users skew younger and richer than those on Yahoo Mail and Hotmail.
Gmail opened up to all users in February, with Gmail’s market share of US visits climbing 17% from February 2007 to April 2007. However, Yahoo Mail and Hotmail are still much bigger by comparison, says Hitwise: Yahoo had 13x the market share, and Hotmail had 6x the marketshare of Gmail.
The good news, if you’re a Gmail user, is that you may be part of the elite: while Yahoo and Hotmail users are decidedly average, Gmail users tend to be young, have a high income, and be early adopters of technology. 54% of users are between 18 and 34, while 18% have an average annual household income between $100,000 and $149,999 (compared to 15% for Hotmail and 13% for Yahoo Mail).
Another stat, probably related to the young age of GMail users: they’re more likely to be Facebook users than those on the other services.
As for performance in the bedroom - well, we kinda lied. In fact, the stats show that solitary Gmail users are far more likely to Google themselves.

Great. Now we're going to start getting "Prescription Gmail will make you better in bed!" e-mails...
I would love to know how the differences between gmail, hotmail and yahoo break down when you ask users what they use the various accounts FOR. I have a yahoo account that I use for generic web crap and a couple listservs, but I use gmail for all serious correspondence. I suspect that most gmail users do something similar: they keep a backup yahoo or hotmail account to keep some of the spam away from their primary gmail account.
One of the reason for choosing gmail is that the availability of user name.All the common names are taken by yahoo or hotmail users. It is hard to find a suitable user name with these old service. You can easily get your preferred user name at gmail , since it is not very crowded right now.
G-mail users tend to lie more on the signup surveys. It's obvious that this young elite (apart from the google staff) are poor optimists.

Not at all. I've used Yahoo mail for a couple of years and tried Gmail in order to compare. In terms of efficiency and user-friendlyness, Yahoo mail is in my opinion far ahead of Gmail. Many people around me use Gmail. If you ask them why, they say because everybody else is using it. It doesn't make much sense...

Same here, I've had a hotmail account since the beggining of time and a yahoo account for wherever an email is requested for accounts or notifications. Both accounts get 100's of spam daily.
Gmail is what I use for correspondence.
