I use http://scr.im/ http://scr.im/ for this, and quite unlike something that advertises itself as a "condom for your email address," it has cute ladybugs instead.
- sourceless 14y agoCool, the angle I'm planning to go for is the one Nikolas0 mentioned - an API and plugins so that it can be integrated into things like blogs and forums easily.
- jessriedel 14y agoIf you're looking for wide appeal, the name seems unnecessarily risqué.
- sourceless 14y agoPerhaps, I guess I'll find out
- shloime 14y agoI think the name's great. I'll definitely remember it, and it's not obviously risque.
- chickopozo 14y agoThis has existed for years: http://www.google.com/recaptcha/mailhide/ http://www.google.com/recaptcha/mailhide/ And your email isn't stored but rather encrypted and the ciphertext passed via the url.

- ozh 14y agoBefore anyone goes down the "omg scr.im is so easy to brute force" route: yes -- by design. I wanted a very simple tool to easily share email addresses that would defeat dumb mail harvesters, not a cyber bunker with undecypherable recaptcha crap that would annoy the hell out of users. Plus, yes, ladybug :)
