They&#8217;re great. But  what about the sites where you don&#8217;t want to get email from, you just need a  one-time address to sign-up and confirm your email address. Yes! Just disposable  email addresses &#8211; sort of like Kleenex. You use them once (I hope!) and throw  them away.<\/p>\n<p>Why would you need a throw-away email address? Say you want to read the Lower  Slobovian Reporter. You just need to read one article. It&#8217;s not your favorite  newspaper &#8211; but there&#8217;s an article on how to make Slobovian boar stew, and you  need to read it.<\/p>\n<p>All you want to do is sign up so you read one article. And you don&#8217;t want  them to send you emails offering Canaries in a Jar or Real Homemade Slobovia  Pickled Boar&#8217;s Feet. Yes, I know you&#8217;re already &#8220;boared&#8221; enough, but let me  finish. So all you need is an email address that&#8217;s like a Kleenex right? Use it  once, and toss it.  And the best part is, that unlike Kleenex, you won&#8217;t destroy  any trees, they are free, and there&#8217;s an unlimited supply. How can you beat  that?<\/p>\n<p>So as not to &#8220;boar&#8221; you anymore, we&#8217;ll bring the developer of the service to  boar you some more! (All this stuff rhymes!)<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;BugMeNot<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;re browsing the web and you click a link to an article  on a site (let&#8217;s say nytimes.com) but instead of getting the article you get a  screen asking you to login or register. Infuriated at the idea of pointlessly  registering for yet another site you turn to your good buddy  bugmenot.com<\/p>\n<p>INSTRUCTIONS<\/p>\n<p>STEP 1: Make a note of the website  address your are trying to access. For example: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/\">www.nytimes.com<\/a><br \/>\nSTEP 2: Visit <a href=\"http:\/\/bugmenot.com\/\">http:\/\/bugmenot.com<\/a><br \/>\nSTEP 3: Enter the address  from step 1 into the box and press the &#8220;Get Logins&#8221; button<br \/>\nSTEP 4: You should  now be presented with at least one username and password. Make a note of  them.<br \/>\nSTEP 5: Go back to the site you were originally trying to access in  step 1 and proceed to login with the username and password you noted in the  previous step.<\/p>\n<p>With any luck you should be able to access your article now!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>OK. Got it? You should probably visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bugmenot.com\/\">www.bugmenot.com<\/a> right now, and add it to  your favorites or bookmarked. Then when you need it, you&#8217;ll have it.
