Directories are all the same: They have contact details of people who wish to be in there. The Hotmail Member Directory is no different. You need to have a Hotmail account to access it is, and you will find that it is a list of email address that people have allowed to be on there so others that they may not know can contact them. If there is someone who you are specifically looking for, then you may be able to find them via this database. If not, then it means that they haven’t consented to having their details put on the network and you will not be able to find their contact details through this method.
It is very helpful if you wish to make new friends and meet new people; however you must bear in mind that your safety is down to you and no one else. As you have given consent to having your details put in the Hotmail Member Directory, the people who you speak to and have contact with cannot be prevented from doing so. It is a good idea not to put your email on there if you are concerned about people you don’t know trying to make contact with you.
However, as long as you are responsible about who you talk to, and you are aware that you may be receiving junk and spam mail, then there is no reason why you cannot sign up for the Hotmail Member Directory. Everyone will have different opinions on the matter, so you could always just give your consent and then change your mind by either changing your email address completely or deleting yourself from the directory if it becomes a problem. For businesses, it may offer the chance to generate new leads.
