Reducing spam by icon generator?

October 1, 2005

These are the two websites for generating email icons. So instead of publishing superman@hotmail.com or superman@gmail.com, your email address will be displayed on an image (so it’s not clickable and spam robots won’t be able to get your email address).

Here you go:
http://services.nexodyne.com/email/index.php (for Hotmail, Yahoo, GMail, and many more)
http://gizmo967.mgs3.org/Gmail/ (for GMail only)

Well, some people might say that these websites will sell your email to unknown 3rd party….to be honest, I’m not sure (even if they have a privacy policy, but who knows right?). If that’s the case, I guess the safest way to protect your email is to just type it as superman[AT]godzilla[DOT]com if you’re going to publish it on the internet. :P

  2. Yes, I’ve been trying to use that whenever possible….afraid that spam-bots might be able to fish my email address if it’s written in the proper form…
