Just launched tonight: thisemailwillselfdestruct.com - feedback?
A simple & fun site to send e-mails that self-destruct:
http://www.thisemailwillselfdestruct.com/
You can specify how long the message will last after it has been opened. It's an easy way to send a secure message to someone without having to worry about the message getting accidentally saved on their computer, forwarded on, etc.
A free subscription if you want to try it: http://www.thisemailwillselfdestruct.com/signup/free-promo-534b10dd8
Audience is less technical folk; i.e. not familiar with crypto or secure enterprise messaging.
What do you think?

- jolan 16y agoI just got an error trying to sign up: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/base/python_runtime/python_lib/versions/1/google/appengine/ext/webapp/__init__.py", line 511, in __call__ handler.get(*groups) File "/base/data/home/apps/thisemailwill/1.344696440624846265/main.py", line 243, in get self.redirect(users.create_login_url('/signup'+coupon)) TypeError: cannot concatenate 'str' and 'NoneType' objects
- dustball 16y agoThanks! I just pushed a fix.
- dustball 16y agoThough, from the error, I think you tried to sign up without the coupon - make sure to use http://www.thisemailwillselfdestruct.com/signup/free-promo-534b10dd8 http://www.thisemailwillselfdestruct.com/signup/free-promo-5... so you don't have to pay ;)
- photon_off 16y agoThis was done before, but I forgot the URL. One thing I never understood is how people don't just figure: Can't the recipient photograph (or otherwise document) the e-mail?
- gcheong 16y agoOr a screen capture/print?
- dustball 16y agoSure, they can. The point is to make it hard, not impossible. Heck, just think of common problems caused by lazyness or human error. The service lets you send a message to someone with a _reasonable expectation_ that it won't go any further. With e-mail or normal written communication methods, you simply don't have that.
- photon_off 16y agoTo me, it is not at all a reasonable expectation that somebody can look at an e-mail, but not document it. It seems disingenuous. Perhaps I am more clever than your target audience.
