No time wasted signing-up, just send an email to any address @mailinator.com. Your email address already exists. Get your email sent here, THEN come check mailinator. Your mail will be waiting. Forget giving out your real email address. Forget giving out your information. Forget spam. So, the next time someone suspicious asks for your email... make up a mailinator address on the spot and give them that. Then come here and see what they sent. Its that easy. Its that fast. Its like flicking a booger -- at spam." (Comments: Via White Noise.)

That is some of the most annoying copy I've read in a while. Posted by: Joshua Kaufman on July 24, 2003 09:21 AM
While I think it's a grand idea to have publicly available email which anyone can view or use, the name 'mailinator' is, I feel, difficult to remember and hard to spell. Why such a hard Latin-based brand-name for a service for-the-masses? They should have dumbed-down their image to something like 'nomail' etc. Posted by: Derek R on July 24, 2003 02:05 PM
