Special "@Hotmail.co.uk" Addresses On Sale.
MSN has pre-registered over 50 of the most desirable new email addresses (think: jamesbond@hotmail.co.uk, queen@hotmail.co.uk & superman@hotmail.co.uk) and donated them to the NSPCC (National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children). These accounts will be auctioned off on eBay for charity.
Buyers can bid for specific hotmail.co.uk addresses from the following categories: film character icons, cultural names, most popular baby names, nick names, seasonal names and media names. With still 7 days left, JamesBond@hotmail.co.uk for instance is already going for £2,050.00 (about $3,800 US) at the time of writing.
Pretty Cool.

Why would people want that email address that badly?! That seems weird to me... the most I thought it would get would be like ~$500 US...but yeah good on 'em - good cause, good idea.

why would anyone want hotmail?! you could proably get those adresses on other hosts instead (if you have your own server you can get whatever name you like).

hotmail is the most popular free web based email provider, provided by one of the biggest names in the computing world. Why would someone want to go to some no name small server that they dont know and dont trust when they could go to hotmail?
