Email Time Capsule

Filed under: Links — PotatoPeeler @ 9:54 am

Last night, I found an interesting site where you can send yourself an email for future delivery. Being the internet junkie that I am, I’m surprised I haven’t come across something like this before. While I’m sure most of us have no idea if we’ll have our same email address in a year, (let alone twenty years!), you’ve really got nothing to lose. I think I’ll go ahead and sign up for each option.

UPDATE: As it turns out, Forbes was only accepting messages up until November 30th. If you follow the link provided, it will take you to an interesting article about how the whole thing works. Ensuring the integrity of the data is a lot more complex than some might think. Good read.

In the mean time, you can mosey on over to FutureMe.org if you’ve got the hankerin’ to send your future self an email.

Also, for what it’s worth, it doesn’t seem like the guys over at FutureMe.org are all that happy with Forbes.
