Self-destructing web message
« on: September 02, 2008, 06:51 PM »
Cooool...
DestructingMessage.com is a free service which enables you to send a self-destructing message to someone. This means, once they read the message they will no longer be able to read it again after the timer has reached zero. This ensures your message is read by no one but the reader and all evidence of the message is erased. Messages are also anonymous unless you add any identifiable information to your message.

I don't think I'd need such a service.

I have been informed (by reliable sources) that all of the e-mail I send gets deleted unread by its recipients.

It doesn't get more secure than that! ;D

You'd think they'd disable selecting, copying and pasting. Never mind print screen and the like.

I think that's the point. Allowing you to have the message (copy, paste, print screen, etc.) and then erase all traces (in web-cache terms) of who or where it might have come from.

So I guess this is more like giving you the message and then killing the postman...
