Bad things about Gmail
You will need to have a computer, you will need to have internet access
No guaranty to keep your emails. You have no guarantee that Google will keep your emails and let you access them. At any time, you can lose everything! That's why I fetch my emails and delete them from my Gmail account are regular intervals;
Gmail is proprietary. You don't have access to its source code, you can't modify it to suite your needs. And you are dependent on the willing of Google for improvements (or lack of improvements.
- Yahoo!
Good things about Yahoo!
The average download speed of the home page is very fast, highly structured navigation system that emphasizes context and hierarchical information architecture. When you search, the hits are shown relative to their location in the topic hierarchy.

- Online Stores
- Blocket.se
Good things about blocket.se
It is free to create an account and you can sell your things for free. You are also able to buy everything that is available on the webpage store.
Bad things about blocket.se
You will need to have a computer and you will need to have internet access.
You can only buy things from blocket .se if you live in Sweden, you will need to buy internet to access the site, the security is bad because when someone put out a picture of a car it could be fake and when someone wants to buy it he sends the money but the information he has got is not right and he can´t do anything about it.
- Amazon.com
Good things about Amazon.com
It is free to become a member at the website.
Amazon.com has a huge availability of products, product shipping is very good at the company as an example of that is that the company was offering pre-Christmas arrivals on all its products up until midnight on December 23rd and according to reports filed after the holiday, it enjoyed a 99 percent success rate of on-time delivery. And I think that there are not many companies that can do this for customers.
Bad things about Amazon.com
You will need to have a computer and you will need to have internet access.
When you enter the home page your will get very confused, here is a picture how it looks like.
When I saw this page for the first time I just moved my mouse around to check on things that could be interesting, I didn’t like that if you move the mouse to the left side this will come up.
A huge add/and information page comes up and covers half of the page and that is just awful, and irritating.
-Ebay.com
Good things about Ebay.com
Establishing your own auction store makes you be able to sell in a hotly visited environment. You will be able to expose your products to a wide array of prospects.
This site provides a certain level of seller protection and dispute resolution for potential problems you might encounter with your buyers.
Bad things about Ebay.com
You will need to have a computer and you will need to have internet access.
These stores don`t come free. A basic store setup would cost $15.95 per month. A Store status would cost an even higher $49.95 per month. And the king of all kings, an Anchor Store, would require you to spend an onerous $499.95 per month.
You have to spend a lot of time working on the website, this is different from other selling websites where you often just need to create an account and after that you can put out what you want to sell for free and just go in when you fell like it.

Bad things about youtube.com
YouTube is filled with a lot of videos and not all of them may be things you want to watch. There are a lot of videos that are filled with spam and you can often get people leaving comments on your videos that are rude and spam comments. If you create a video and you don’t follow the YouTube requirements, it will be shrunk to fit the specifications and this can really hurt the overall quality of your video. To continue getting hits, the video will need to be optimized as well and this can be a very frustrating and time-consuming process to deal with. Once you make a video, you are sharing it with the entire world, which means everyone will know who you are and they can gain access to information that you really didn’t want to share. Your YouTube videos that you created for your family may end up becoming a viral sensation, something that you may not want.

Good things about iCloud
It is free to store your data after creating a account (buying an apple product makes you able to create an apple-ID that you use for all your apple products).
