Sometimes, my freinds keep sending or forwarding meaningless emails to me, which really annoying me especially when i was busy. But the problem is i don’t know how to ask them to stop doing so ( actually some of the mails do bring me some info, but most of them just wasting my time!).
As i go through this article, i found StopForwarding.Us may help me. Simply provide your friend’s name and email address, and it will send an email to your friend and ask them to stop forwarding meaningless emails. Your freind will not know who is the person that complain about his/her action and most probably they will though someone is spying on their computer!
Your friend will receive an anonymous email which ask them to stop spamming/forwarding emails and he will recognize his errors in sending those meaningless emails. This is the email that he will receive.
I personally think that it would be better if let us to include our name or email. So that our friend can only exclude our name in their “mailing list” while let the others interested people still able to read their mails.

TinyPaste sounds similar with TinyURL. TinyURL able to turn long URL into short URL, while TinyPaste able to turn long text into an URL.
Sometimes, when you want to send some message to your freind through MSN, but MSN limits the maximum lengths for each conversation. So, you may need to separate one message into different messages. It is very troublesome and time consuming.
So, TinyPaste may help us as it will store your message in the database, generate a short URL for you. After that, you just send the URL to your friend and they can view the original content through the URL.
TinyPaste will convert the text to Unicode format. so you can use it to store Chinese or even Japanese language text. I think this is really a good idea, but it is even better if user can encrypts the message.
