SpamGourmet - Indelicately eating your spam everyday!
What do you do when you are worried stiff about your email address ending up the deep spamhole? What if you do need to give out an address when a website asks you for one so that it can 'confirm your subscription'?
Use SpamGourmet. This free service lets you create an account that works very differently from the usual free email accounts. Let's say you need to give out an email address. Just give it out as someword.x.username@spamgourmet.com where
someword is a random word you enter,
x is the number of emails you want to receive at the address and
username is your spamgourmet username. You do not have to create this address - the moment you receive email at this address, the address is generated by spamgourmet and it will forward exactly
x number of emails to your actual email address before devouring any remaining emails. It's a useful account to have with you at all times coz ahem.. u never know when you might need one.
[Sidenote: Yahoo! now uses its own search engine based on Inktomi and Overture. Which means that it no longer uses Google as its primary search tool. While there is no way I can be convinced to ever use Yahoo! to search for anything, here's a page that instantly allows you to
compare both search engines. +
