Self-destructive Email

Are you sick & tired of those n-number of email forwards ?? Need your way to weed-through all the junk mails w/out ever bothering to delete those mails periodically ??

Here is the solution. A post on WSJ discusses about the “new” generation e-mail, which will come with a time-line. After the time ends this email would just delete itself, so you can enjoy the clutter-free mail-box.

Here’s what the article says -

Another new service, Kablooey Mail, allows consumers to send “self-destructing” emails that can be viewed for only a limited time, which may appeal to people who don’t want a record of their correspondence. The free service, which made its debut in July, lets individuals log on to Kablooey’s site to compose a message and set an expiration time, which can range from 10 seconds to two weeks after the message is opened. (Senders can also elect to have the message not expire.) A copy of the message is saved in the sender’s account, where it can be reviewed by the sender later, or deleted altogether for extra security.

The email is sent from the Web site, but appears as though it is coming from the sender’s personal email address, such as an Outlook account. It shows up in the recipient’s inbox with a link to a Web site with the message’s content as well as a timer that shows how long before the message expires. A recipient is instructed to use only the up/down arrow keys or scroll bar to read the message; any other keystroke causes the message to expire instantly, which removes the message from the screen and prevents the recipient from accessing it again.
