• Jeff breaks down his approach:
  • Pre-@ (the part before the “@”): "The identifier is, you know, the name you pick for yourself." (Jeff, 02:42)
  • Post-@ (after the “@”): The domain (like aol.com or yahoo.com) reveals generational clues and possible habits.
  • "What happens after the at symbol also speaks volumes." (Jeff, 03:06)

Judging Listeners’ Email Addresses
