Share your email in a safe way. Get less spam.

I saw an online friend of mine use this service so that he can share his email address publicly but still be assured that it's not going to be harvested by spammers. He used this service called Scr.im which is currently in Beta.

To use the service, you type in your email on the site, set a URL that you can easily remember and distribute, and voila, you have your own scr.im address. You can share this link online as a substitute to posting your actual email address which is harmful in the long run.

How does it prevent spam from getting into your inbox? Basically when someone clicks on your personalized scr.im link, they are asked to answer a captcha question which, i say, is quite tricky. it's not the usual "type in what you see" kind of captcha. It's more of matching the same captchas which is challenging especially if you're the lazy kind of person (what a shame). Afterwards, the email address is displayed. But yeah, spambots can't bypass this kind of captcha so it makes your email address safe from them flooding your mail.

Try it! Very helpful if you advertise your email address a lot.

Create newsletters!

My brother needed a software with templates so he can make a newsletter for his homework. We needed the software immediately so I searched online and downloaded the first free software I could find. I stumbled upon this publishing software called Publish-It.

The main website where this is from looks HTML- challenged because of the lack of design. But I got the software from Download.com. Here is the link: http://download.cnet.com/Publish-it/3000-6675_4-10046724.html

It's only available for a 21-day trial but my brother and I figured it's good enough for him. The interface reminds me of Microsoft Word so it wasn't that hard to navigate.

Anyway for freeware, I found this software on Download.com again. I haven't tried it though. It's called Serif PagePlus. However if you go over to this site, it says it's not free.

I didn't bother to check out PDF creators anymore because it might get too complicated for my brother. He was already able to make his project on Publish-It already. The only problem he has now is he ran out of paper.
