My pal nick and I built something called Cloaked Email for our startup Gliph back in August of 2012. [1]
Apart from our early integration to send and receive Bitcoin on Coinbase, Cloaked Email was the most successful part of our privacy focused startup, not only in its ability to attract press coverage but in generating revenue as well.
We believe our work contributed to forcing criagslist to introduce their email relay service. Craigslist went so far as to block email from cloaked email users. [2]
Doing this well and to take on the responsibility of maintaining ~forever is a huge thing.
It is great Apple has recognized the importance of this matter and brought it into their platform in such a straightforward way.
One of the most engaging actions we had was people re-rolling for a different random email address. People just loved seeing what they might land on next.
