http://www.nerdshack.com
General Public --
Welcome to the Nerdshack, where we provide the public with free anonymous
POP3 e-mail accounts. Use the register link above and your new e-mail
address will become your account name at both nerdshack.com and
mailshack.com. A nerdshack.com e-mail account comes with our pledge to
protect your privacy, and respect your time. We will not surrender your
e-mail address to anyone, and will actively attempt to keep spam out of
your inbox. Continue reading to find out why we decided to offer this
service.
This site serves as a direct reaction to the corporate portals which have
actively chosen to trade your privacy for their profit. What prompted our
reaction was the recent announcement of Google's new e-mail service,
nicknamed Gmail. This service was revolutionary in that it would offer
the public one gigabyte of storage, far more than any other free e-mail
service in existence today, but would fund the service by selling
targeted advertisements. What disturbed us, and a large portion of the
observant public is the way Google intends to target their
advertisements. Google is planning to build user profiles based on the
contents of their e-mails. This profile, augmented by information about
your Internet searches using their search tool will provide a curious
observer with a frighteningly accurate picture of a users personal life.
Here at the Nerdshack, we promise never to scan your e-mail, or allow
anyone to access it without a court order. We intend to take privacy one
step further; someday soon we hope to deploy a system that will
automatically encrypt our users e-mail, thereby preventing anyone from
accessing it without knowing the proper password.
