About
TinyMailto.com lets you convert your e-mail address into a URL that is
protected from spammers by a captcha test.
You can use a tinymailto URL to put it in public places like web
pages, forum/e-mail signatures, etc. If someone wants
to
get your e-mail address, the person must pass a
Captcha
test in order to
view
and use your e-mail address.
This way, you can protect your e-mail address from
spammers
and web robots (web-bots).
tinymailto.com site
This site is a free, public and reliable
service.
Its started as an experiment on about converting an
idea into a reality. I "sometimes" have ideas of how
things can
work. So, this time I decided to put this idea on the web.
Right now there are many users(check the stats on the
blog) and the site is in production mode.
Why I created this service?
Sometimes you need to put your e-mail address in your work, and
sometimes your work is put in a web page. The problem is that
spammers
can get your e-mail from that web page in order to send you more
SPAM.
Since many years, people have
been doing some
sort of "encryptions" to their e-mail address and I think not all of
those
"encryptions" works. The most common "encryptions" are:
- myname _at_ example.com
- myname at example.com
- myname AT example DOT com
- myname+at+example+com
- myname [at] example [dot] com
The problem is that web robots, created by
spammers,
now can easily
interpret those
"encryptions", and you end up having more and more
SPAM in
your inbox.
Conclusion
What if you can have a way to show your e-mail address only to a real
person? Well, this site is just for that!
