Temporary email addresses to test out your Myspace goods

Over the weekend, okay, not really, on Friday actually, email "turned" 35 - that´s 35 years! Whatever your opinion might be, good or bad, you´ll admit that email has had a pretty nice run.

In light of that, I´d like to show you a way to cut down on spam while trying out some of the Myspace goodies featured here on Web Tracker.

10 Minute Mail, as you might guess, is a site that assigns you a temporary (ten minute) email address. You go here, click on the "Get my 10 Minute Mail e-mail address" link and your presented with just that; an email address that is good for exactly 10 minutes. The idea being that within that time you should be able to subscribe/sign up for some new product or site, get and respond to a confirmation email, and then decide whether or not it´s something that interests you or not. No need to give out your own email if you have no plans on using a particular product or service, don´chya think?

Temporary email

The landing page itself provides you with a countdown from 10 to 0 minutes at which point your email address self destructs. Any email delivered to your temporary email address should, in practice, show up on the same page. If you do happen to need more time, you simply click a link and the counter is reset to 10 minutes. That´s it.

Have a look.
