Internet Tidbit: Mailinator
There are many times when you need to use your email address to browse a website or check out a service. If you use your regular email address, you will be opening yourself up to spam. Instead, you can use an email address from Mailinator. Mailinator is a receive-only service. You can use any email address name you can think of, and then use it when signing up at a website. The email address is in the form name@mailinator.com. The email address stays live for a few hours, then all email at that address is deleted. This service is free and there is no need to register for an account. The email is obviously not secure, but it helps solve the problem of needing an anonymous or temporary email address to help reduce inbox spam.
