5 disposable email services with RSS support
If you're looking for a little anonymity and security when signing up for download links or invite codes, a disposable email service is a good option. Instead of providing one of your working email addresses, just grab a meaningless temporary one from any of these sites and keep your identity hidden.These five sites all provide RSS feeds for your address, which is handy. No need to return to the site after registration, just subcribe with your favorite newsreader.
MailCatch - Choose your own address or roll the dice. MailCatch also provides an iGoogle gadget and creates a subdomain (using your address) for quick access to your web inbox. MailCatch also provides temporary forwards, and they've got an FAQ and forums.
MyTrashMail - Offers password protected temporary accounts in addition to the traditional public variety. Note that the Firefox "toolbar" they offer requires you have the Google toolbar installed first. FAQ and about links are prominently displayed.
FilzMail - Sports a clean interface featuring puffy, web 2.0 images. Create your own address or generate a random one and messages are available for 24 hours (which can be extended).
Incognito Mail - The option for minimalists. Choose or generate your address, and it's valid for 60 minutes. No FAQ or TOS is posted. There are a number of other services that look very similar to Incognito Mail, offering different time limits.
DodgeIt - Ok, maybe this is the one for minimalists. You pick the address (no random generator), you check for messages - they're deleted after seven days.
Do you use a different service? Share it with us, but stay on topic - make sure it supports RSS!

With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet.
They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...

Other inbox.com is really cool
its in beta, but it creates mailboxes on the fly. Plus don't have to be just for spam. I use one for amazon, my fantasy sports leagues, etc. you sign up, setup a fake domain and just enter email addresses when you're asked. if a mailbox doesn't exist in your fake domain, it creates one instantly.

That's because they're all using the same software: http://www.gentlesource.com/temporary-email/
Even FilzMail in your list does so. They've changed the layout quite a bit but if you look at the source code, you'll see. :-)

Spamex allows you to create email addresses that are forwarded to you permanent email address. If you notice spam coming through one of your email addresses, you turn it off and you also know who is sharing your email address.
