Why Are Some Celebrities Still Using AOL Email?

Despite the stigma, there are many people still using AOL email. Some are stuck in a technology time warp; but not everyone is that backwards. Some notable and presumably intelligent celebrities are reportedly still using their AOL email addresses.

The short list supposedly includes Tina Fey, Paul Rudd, Steve Carell, David Arquette and Sarah Silverman. With all the money they make and all the PR people who work to keep up their image, you would think someone would tell these celebs to change to Gmail. Of course, they could be like Paul Rudd who keeps AOL for fun. He enjoys the embarrassment and gets a kick out of being considered a “fossil”. Anyone else care to ‘fess up and admit to still using AOL? [NYMAG]

    I assume they’re using AOL because they’ve just happened to use it forever and never bothered making the switch. I know plenty of people who use Hotmail and readily acknowledge that Gmail does everything better, but really like their rut (ditto for IE users).

    Fey and Silverman can use whatever they like.

    They can use my email if they want.

    Ahhem, sorry, what? must’ve been thinking out loud.
