When you sent a hotmail, it said sent by hotmail or powered by hotmail? Yeah, it's actually funny you should say this. It was the idea to do that was Tim Draper's idea, 100%. And not me. And and I just want to give credit to him because it was incredibly cheeky at the time to embed a commercial message involuntarily to everything sent by your customers.

So you signed up for Hotmail. It feels like a normal email account, but now every message you sent has this get your free email at hotmail.com. Right, like like a call to action. Controversial. This week in startups is brought to you by Perspective AI.
