mostbloggers: forgotten world of email | part 3

this is installment 3 on the forgotten world of email which began in

part one

where we looked at searching and viewing the internet via email through the services of web2mail (more on web2mail is forthcoming).

part two

looked at blogging through email (more to come on that topic in the future).

in part three we're going to be looking 6url which offers google search by email and fetching html pages with email and domain search using email (plus more).

so let us begin:

i came across this site: http://www.6url.com and from first glance it appears to have a few neat features:

make a long url into a short url
personal public email
email tools (which include)
google by email
fetch an html page via email
check domain availability through email
got time to waste (questions and answers on the net - i don't claim to fully understand this one)
find dropped domain names (and purchase)
free access (when some website asks for personal info - they provide another way in)
make your url long service (pretty interesting idea)

google by email
send a message to: google@6url.com and put your query in the subject line - and send. they claim to email results in a few seconds.

fetch url by email
send an email to fetch@6url.com and the url in the subject line (like http://www.6url.com in the subject line) and they claim within seconds the webpage will be sent to your inbox.

short url
so here's the short url's i got for http://mostbloggers.blogspot.com:

so, if you're looking for some interesting web services - keep an eye on 6url.

for the curious why not crawl around their info at the fagan finder. at least you can see how far they have come from their first archived page. plus with you can see that sometimes linktron5000 is sometimes truly amazing (plus how unique this page really is). linktron5000 site link.

currently only 12 pages seem to be linking to this cool site (well make that 13 now).

peace2all.
