when you don’t want to give out your email, use mailinator

Have you ever came across an interesting web service, or white paper, or article that you want to try out or read but don’t want to register with your own email?  With mailinator, you can just sign up for anything without worrying about your privacy.

I’ve learn about this mailinator site while reading Paul Tyma’s blog, Technical Revenue, an excellent blog by the way.  The great thing about this service is you don’t even have to sign up to use it.  Basically, it creates an email inbox for you and keep it in the server memory for a few hours. You can go sign up for anything with an email from mailinator (something@mailinator.com).  One you signed up on the website you were interested in, go back to mailinator to check your email and then forget about it.  Simply genius.

What is Mailinator?
Mailinator is a different kind of email service. The biggest difference is that you don’t need to sign up. Any email name you can think of already exists at Mailinator.com. Want BrianTheSkink@mailinator.com? You got it. Want to be JacquesKooStow? ScaryGavyn? GraysonTheMason? No problem. They exist when you create them and they are just waiting for you to check your inbox.
