2 Prong may be giving us a reason to have one less.
Sometimes companys you simply don’t trust require a working email address, but you just know that if you give it to them they’ll fill up your inbox with spam. A more convenient way then maintaining two boxes– one for spam, one for real mail, as I’ve been doing– is taking advantage of 2 Prong’s “disposable email” system. No signup required; it seems to be ideal for those one time uses.
Update:
Malinator seems to be providing a very similar service. The benefit of theirs is that you don’t need to login to activate your “email account”, you can make it up while away from your computer– at a dance, on a conference call or in a meeting— and then go and check it for mail later on. The downside seems to be that multiple people may be using the same address, and that all mail is deleted in a few hours– if that one email from the guy in the conference call might be important, and it might be five hours before you can get on the computer, it might not be the best option.
