Title: Keeping Your Email Yours
A new free service allows people to contact you without giving out your email address.
Keeping your email address free of spam is not easy. One of the most likely places for your address to be picked up ("harvested") is if it's displayed anywhere on the internet. This means that you have to avoid it being on websites. That's all very well, but what if you want people to be able to contact you? A new UK based service called Contactify has a solution to the problem.
Connectify are currently offering a free service to allow people to contact you while keep your email address yours. Just sign up (you'll need to enter your email address, and they provide you with a unique address, here's mine: http://www.contactify.com/8290. If you click my link you'll be taken to a page where you can enter a message for me. Once sent, it is forwarded on to my email address. This also means that your privacy is kept.
