In the age of "shorter is better" everyone is trying a better way to shorten things, protect things, and share things. First it was links - where users of the Twitter shortened their links so they could share with their friends in under 140 characters. But it didn't stop there - people wanted to shorten everything, and add the element that other URL Shortners couldn't accomlish - protect themselves from harmful links. So in turn , people wanted to shrink their email addresses, and share them with people on Twitter - but protect themselves aganist spam. Enter TinyMail.
TinyMail's Homepage
TinyMail is a great web application that lets you share your email address with the world, and know that it will be private. One of the biggest problems with email spam is that if you put your email on a blog or another site - internet robots, yes I said it, will search the entire internet for something@something.com. Once they find that email - they will add it their spam list. TinyMail put the protection back into your email account. No more will have to type your full email in a forum, chat, or Twitter. If you want to share your email with someone via Twitter, just type your email into the bar and click protect. You will be given a url short address, similar to TinyURL or Bit.ly, where you can share with the rest of the world. The email address is now in web form, so the recipent who wants to email you, can click on the link, enter into the image on thes screen, and your email is displayed. It's that simple. This whole process keeps your email safe from the bag guys as it ads the image verification to prevent a robot from trying to access that web address. Also - this protects you against spammers, as the email address on the public timeline of Twitter will not be a email address per say, but a web address and will not be added to public spam accounts. So if your looking to share your email address with someone but want the privacy and protection - TinyMail is for you.
