Yahoo! Address Guard is my Daily Disposable Email Directory

I use Yahoo’s AddressGuard for every single web site/social network/beta test I sign up for, because you never know… Here are my 3 easy steps to creating one through Yahoo! (note this is a Yahoo! Mail Plus feature):

  1. From the Yahoo! Toolbar, I go to “Mail” –> Add Disposable AddressSelect My Disposable Addresses from the Toolbar's Mail menu.
  2. Enter the name of the web site after my “basename” (see below*)Supply a keyword, a delivery folder, and a note, then click the Add Disposable Address button.
  3. Copy the new Disposable E-mail and paste it on the site’s signup e-mail address form

Click the Copy Address to Clipboard link to copy the new address.

*All the disposable addresses that you create in AddressGuard use the same simple pattern: yourbasename-keyword@yahoo.com

Yahoo! Mail Plus is only $20 per year and to me, it was worth it just so I didn’t have any ads to deal with. However, there are several perks, which I’ll copy and paste below:

Speaking of Real Tennis: Top Spin Tennis

Wii Sports Tennis screen - Image 1Senior Producer Jean-Yves Patay from game developer PAM promised that the game will have more than Wii Sports’ tennis had to offer.
“There’ll be no big heads and no players without legs,” he told CVG. Aside from that, Top Spin Tennis will also focus on the actual tennis experience than being a tech demo of the Wii’s motion sensing capabilities. Patay stressed out that they’re offering “a real tennis game.”

New Category – Shout for Yahoo!

Well, as far as I can remember, aside from AOL, Yahoo! was the first web site that was “FULL” of content, utilities and options. Yahoo! basically was the only competitor to AOL in the earlier years of the web, the 14.4 kbs years, 28.8 kbs was just coming out and way to expensive.

We’re very pleased to tell you that the Google Web Toolkit (GWT) is no longer in beta as of today’s release of GWT 1.4.
