Everyone and their grandmother now emails. Literally. But what about Spam? What about throwing your email out all over the web? Posting your email on Blogs? Or even talking to your Email? Technology compounds and so do our creative uses for the old fashioned email. Heres some great new web applications to have handy while emailing, blogging or working.
Mailinator is a great free disposable email. Anytime you ever need to get emails that require verification, you simply type whatever@mailinator.com, then proceed to the website and check the fake email account you sent it too! You don't have to set Mailinator up and they have other email servers you can send the fakies too.
Disposable email is great so websites and spammers won't have your real email. Email verification just got easier.
Email Future is a web client in which you can write an email to yourself or others to be delivered on a future date. You pick the date and time, up to 25 years from now! Email reminder for the meeting next week? Surprising someone? Birthday greetings? Pretending to be at the office while on vacation? Reminding yourself of that lifelong to-do list you wrote ten years prior? The possibilities are endless.
The best free email hands down. Gmail offers you seven gigabytes of online email storage. You never delete emails, you just archive them for later, then easily search their content or sender to pull up emails from years ago. Gmail is also easily integrated with many other Google features such as calendars and notes. Oh did I mention, you can import your current contact list into Gmail to save time and ease the transition?
Get Net Wise is a great email masking service for when you post your email on the internet in blogs, message boards or forums. Get Net Wise will allow you to input your email, then it generates a code for you to put in the place of your email next time you post. What this does is mask your email from spam crawler bots that walk the internet looking for their next spam victims.
To the human eye, the email looks normal, but isn't formatted the way that the spammers hunt for and harvest emails. Just one more utility to fight back the piling spam.
This websites offers email addresses @v.gg.com. The main draw of this website is for those of you obsessed with a short email address. You can't find many one letter domain names, especially hosting email. Wouldn't recommend for those with heavy volume of email because they offer only 25mb of storage space.
Zookoda is a great resource for all you bloggers, tweeters, diggers, stumblers and writers! Zookoda is a FREE resource to send out mass emails weekly, monthly or whenever.
A great way to boost traffic and popularity is by sending out newsletter. Zookoda offers webmaster like tools and resources, allowing bloggers to view subscription list, click reports and more.
eSnailer is one of the most bizarre websites I've run across. The site lets you write out a message and input a real mailing address and eSnailer will send them a real envelope with your message enclosed. For Free.
10 minute mail is a disposable email address that is great for sending any sort of verification email. By having an email address that expires, you can "verify" an email address and sign up for services without the worry spam building up in your mailbox.
A great thing about 10 Minute Mail is that the email server changes once a month so webmaster's who catch on to the server will be ousted soon enough.
Jott is a phenomenal resource for the busy blogger and active liver. Jott allows you to call a number, speak clearly, and Jott will transcribe it. Yes, Jott will "listen" then either email the transcription, text it or list it. You can set up an account and manage all these memos. Best of all, it's all free!
Jott is great if you're not around your computer or don't feel like fooling with it, just call the number and leave yourself a memo, to be emailed to you instantly.
SpyPig is a great utility for email, allowing you to know if the email you sent was opened by the recipient. You type your email and your recipients email into a web form and receive a coded "blank image" which can track if the email was opened.
Think of the applications. Love letter, job interview request, money request. You'll know if your email was read, and act from there. Its as simple as attaching a small image to your email and waiting to see if they've read it or not.
