How to Never Lose Contact With Your Friends Again!

By registering your email address with a free service, you can now keep it eternally ‘alive‘ so that others can contact you in the future, even if they don‘t know your new address.

Compared to phone numbers and standard mail, there’s no master directory of email addresses, and once you change addresses, your messages are not forwarded to your new location. Bethany Data is one of the first to provide an answer to this annoying problem with their new web site called www.FindMyNewMail.com.

Their free service is a great way to remove the hassle of moving ISP’s, changing jobs, moving to another country, or whatever might cause you to change your email address.

It’s also secure and private. They don’t give out your new email address; instead, the sender sends a message to your old email through the site, which is forwarded to your new address. You then have to actively respond to whoever contacts you.

In theory a great idea ... BUT ... everyone seems to be missing an important point!  Unless they are planning to invest in alot of advertising to make it well known (unlikely for a free service), the success of this is dependent on someone going to the site looking for you, and the odds of that happening are slim to none!

Exactly what I was going to say. It's not likely any of your contacts are going to even know about this service to use it, unless you tell them all about it of course. But in that case, it's just as easy to simply send out an email to everyone on your list, announcing your new address when you move to a new one. That works just fine for me.

All in all it sounds great for someone on the go, but i don't believe for an average Joe like me it's something i'd go nuts or loose sleep over, besides it's another site for hackers to run amock on........

I have always used a  free service @ yahoo.com and in six years have had no real problems.
You will get "some" junk but a lot of the " junk:" can be blocked.

The fake lotto winnings are the worse as well as Viagra .

could be useful, but i find just having an email address with a service like gmail works fine... i can access it anywhere, use POP if i want... all that jazz. i generally find if i want people to know my new email address i'll send people an email telling them it's changed. i don't think i'd ever sign up for that service.. good to know it's there though.

another thing that's helped me keep in touch with extended family, old friends from high school, college and other places we'ved lived and meet a few new good friends has been myspace. My husband is a youth pastor and we've had to move a lot. Now I can keep in touch with so many people from different times in my life! Sure, there are negatives that come along with it but the positives have far outweighed it for me.

The security feature sounds like a step in the correct direction.

I heard over the weekend, PC sales are way down in Japan and Asia, and expected to fall more, because hand held wifi devices have essential surpassed wire devices, in capabilities, as the preferred way to connect to the global internet and web.

The hand-helds I've seen are much slower than typing into a keyboard.  I find the interface annoying.  Voice recognition will speed things up.  Maybe there is another interface that would be equally fast, but silent...
