The Great Geek Manual

It never ceases to amaze me how quickly my e-mail accounts accumulate spam. In my opinion, the problem is that everytime I go anywhere online, I have to register for something! I have to register to read the newspaper, to blog about what I read in the newspaper, to promote my blog about what I read in the newspaper, to download software to filter spam generated by my blog … It never ends! One solutions is to use disposable e-mail accounts. Below, I’ve listed every free disposable e-mail service I could find. Of them, my favorite is Jetable, but you can try them out for yourself.

I’d also like to point out that BugMeNot makes these sites unneccessary. Bugmenot is a database of shared account login information for all sorts of sites. It’s been in my bookmarks for years, and I recommend checking it before you take the time to register for anything online.
