2Prong is an email spoofing system that takes inspiration from apps like Mailinator and MyTrashMail but it has a lot more to offer in a slick interface. The idea is simple, get a fake email address that is disposable and receive the “verification email” for signing up to prove that the email address is valid. After that, you don’t ever come back and you don’t have to receive more junk from companies. 2Prong has added some extra features that will allow it to never get blocked by sites and provide quick copy and pasting for signups. Let’s take a look at the service.

1. The first step is to signup for 2Prong. Ha! Just kidding, of course you don’t have to sign up. That would be ridiculous. You actually will receive an email address the moment you visit the page (it is displayed here in the top right corner) and the address is automatically saved to your clipboard for pasting into an online form. As you can see there is a rotating animation telling me that the inbox is actively being checked for new mail.

2. I’m going to send a message to the inbox to see if it really works. I head over to gmail and create a test message to send out.

3. Quick as hell 2Prong uses an AJAX call to display the message on screen.

4. Keep in mind that these inboxes are temporary. Even though you have the option of going back to the inbox, if refresh the homepage as I have done, you will get a completely new email address and the process will repeat.

2Prong is one of those services that you didn’t think you needed until you start using it. It’s so simple and easy to use and in the long run could save you from tons of spam flooding your inbox as a result of all the registration forms we invariably fill out from one day to the next (Now that I think about it, DemoMarks should use this service for all our registrations). Every week a new domain is assigned to all generated email addresses so you won’t gat an email address that is widely recognized as temporary (like Mailinator). The sponsor of the week also gets to keep whatever domain was used. Don’t you want to own Iheartspam.org or KFedsibroke.com?

For quick registration I think you can’t go wrong with a site like this. It’s free, easy to use, fast, and fixes a lot of the problems with services like Mailinator. I highly recommend giving it a try next time you need to sign up for something online.
