Today we took the plunge and decided to review an free web based email service submitted to us a while back. Figmedia.com is a free online web mail service that has a whole heap of nifty features! From web disc's to SSL logins, ability to forward to other email addresses, auto responders and more! But let's start at the beginning.

 

We went to www.figmedia.com today to see just how user friendly and feature rich this website really is. First we'll start with the registration process. Simular to what yoou would see from the big email providers like gmail and yahoo mail. They ask you for your email address and actually verify it against their database of users as you type it in. Cool feature! I hate sitting and submitting forms only to be brought back to the same page telling me something is taken or i missed this and that. Anyways you'll see standard fields for your name city address etc. We submit and we are presented with a upgrade option of sorts, for more space and features. I'll decline for now. And poof we're in and setup! Not bad!

 

Couple things i notice is the amount of things you can do here. I see post it notes for reminders, Full Calendar, a space meter of just how much space i got left and of course my email box. So after going through all these features this service really has some great tools and filters for emailing. I setup a few spam filters to see just how sensitive the feature is. I asked the site to spam box anything that says winner, viagra, free, and other keywords i always see in my hotmail box.

 

Now for the test! I send off a couple emails from my hotmail account and behold!Spam is caught and moved to another folder! Wow that's great! There's a cool nifty tool i see for adding contacts, i added each of my friends today and had the website send off a email to each of them to complete their contact details for me. Wow what a typing savior!

 

The sites layout is similar to what you would see with most place, although the space feature is very limiting. 100mb for a free account is a bit small for me, but i'm sure they will increase that over time or i might upgrade to a premium account.

 

Final notes!

 

It's a must try! Go check it out its free and easy to use. There are some great features available!

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Eminem has come clean, saying that he knew what was in store when bare-buttocked comedian Sacha Baron Cohen crash-landed on him at the MTV Movie Awards television broadcast Sunday.

Eminem stormed out of the awards ceremony after Baron Cohen, in the role of the main character from his new movie, "Bruno," landed on his lap after a flying mishap, leaving the audience wondering if the rapper really was furious or if it was a stunt.

The Detroit rapper told website RapRadar.com that he knew full well what was about to happen and that it was all staged, right down to his disgust when Baron Cohen, clad in white feather wings and a jockstrap, landed face down in his lap, buttocks aloft.

"Sacha called me when we were in Europe and he had an idea to do something outrageous at the Movie Awards. I'm a big fan of his work, so I agreed to get involved with the gag," Eminem told RapRadar on Wednesday.

"I'm thrilled that we pulled this off better than we rehearsed it."

Eminem said he went back to his hotel after storming out of the show and laughed for three hours.

The incident quickly became the most talked-about highlight of a live two-hour television show that pushed the boundaries of taste and language.

Writer Scott Aukerman, who worked with the show's host, Andy Samberg, wrote in a blog posting on Monday that "the Bruno/Eminem incident was staged" but MTV and Baron Cohen have so far declined comment.

Baron Cohen plays a gay Austrian fashionista called Bruno in his new movie, which opens in the United States on July 10.

This is the actor's big-screen follow-up to "Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan," which grossed $261 million globally and triggered a slew of lawsuits from unwitting victims.
