Did you ever wanted to sign up somewhere, but didn't because you where afraid of spam?

There is a site called "Guerrilla Mail" that instantly generates a random email adress for you with an inbox and the ability to send and receive email, no log-in or password needed.

You can instantly use this email for signing up to what ever weird site that wants your email, and then you wait and in the "Guerrilla Mail" inbox you can click the link if there is a confirmation email, then just close the browser window and problem solved, no spam, and the person/site that potentially wanted to "harvest" your email and sell it has nothing (sorry spammers)...

This can also be used to safeguard your identity whilst sending an email, (but I think your IP-address might be in the email header somewhere so it's not a 100% safe), but maybe a bit safer then using your first.lastname@somedomain.com .

Please use responsibly and don't try anything stupid with this service, chances are pretty big you will get busted.
