I like to find the occasional good deal as it comes to E-mail tools and tricks of the trade. Looking outside the conventional box, you can find many tools that have been created to solve some of the simplest problems we have. Here are a few free E-mail tools I think you will be able to get some use out of.
isnoop.net Gmail Invite Spooler
Yes, this is another way of getting Gmail invites. I think I have around six Gmail E-mail addresses, none I really use that much. I keep getting requests from people who want more invites though. isnoop.net’s tool is very simple. You are free to take an invite to Gmail. Then if you receive any invites yourself, all they ask is for you to add them back to their database so that somebody else may have a turn.
Dropload is a place for you to drop your files off and have them picked up by someone else at a later time. At least that is the way it is explained on it’s front page. Think of it as a storage garage. You drop some large files there, and then they can be picked up later by somebody else. This is a good way of getting around sending large E-mail attachments. Many free E-mail services have a limit of the size you can send. You can also upload any type of file. The limits though are that 100MB is as large as you can get, and they will only store it for seven days.
Dodgeit works as a perfect way of getting around places that require you give them your E-mail address so they can send you twenty newsletters you never asked for. You make up a “@dodgeit.com” E-mail address to give to the person wanting your information, then you go to the Dodgeit Web site to check for that “activate account” link.
YouSendIt is another tool like Dropload. Here though, you can send a file as large as 1GB to somebody via their E-mail address. It also has the same time limitation though. You must get your buddy to get the file within seven days, or they will delete it from the server.
Have any other tools I didn’t mention on here? Be sure to let me know! I am always interested in looking at more new and exciting ways of getting around the occasional E-mail annoyance.
