Free Service to Reduce Spam and Guard Privacy
A simple and free service, Contactify creates a unique link to a personal contact form, allowing visitors to send messages straight to your inbox, whilst never revealing your email address.
London, United Kingdom (PRWEB) June 13, 2007 -- The Contactify service, launched recently, was created in part to respond to the deluge of spam that is delivered to people's email addresses everyday as a result of their email addresses being harvested by spammers.
If an individual were to place their email address online, on a personal website, a blog, a forum or messageboard or even on social networks, within hours that individual would likely start receiving spam.
Contactify has created a simple and easy solution to this problem: a personal Contactify link.
Once created, a contactify link, such as http://www.contactify.com/1, links to a personal contact form. From here, individuals can receive email straight to their inbox, but never have to reveal their email address.
The service provides a solution to both spam and privacy issues, but also a direct solution for bloggers to have a means with which to remain contactable: "This is a great solution for blogs and other sites that don't offer their own contact forms" (Lifehacker.com 20th April 2007).
The Contactify form also employs a 'captcha' code which prevents the automated submission of the form, thus further reducing spam. If a user starts to receive unwanted email, they can simply either delete the contactify link and create a new one or modify the link so that the unwanted email is directed elswhere.
Furthermore, Contactify has also recently launched a widget, so that users can now place the contact form directly on their website (an example can be seen here: http://www.bhall.com/2005/06/contact.html). Contactify was recently invited to become a Certified Partner of Widgetbox.
Contactify offers a simple, easy and fast way to remain contactable, but to never reveal your email address; reducing spam and guarding your privacy.
The site has also been featured on some of the largest technology related media on the web, including: Techcrunch, Mashable, Lifehacker, Emily Change (eHub) and ZDNet, amongst others. Contactify was also featured as a 'Cool Site of the Day' by the Kim Komando Show.
Contactify is based in London, UK.
