Did you know that Gmail doesn’t recognize dots (.) as characters within a username ? This means think.dj@gmail.com is the same as thinkdj@gmail.com for Gmail servers. OK, Great .. Now how’s that useful for me ?

We signup for tons of services a day, right from that online news subscription to that no-so-trusted site which said it needed your email ID to send the download link you just requested. Hmm.. what to do ?
Well, for the not-so-trusted sites, just use an email alias with a pre positioned DOT. 
Take this example. I have to give my email ID [think.dj@gmail.com] to blogdirectories.com. But I suspect them on giving the email IDs to 3rd party services. So, I give my email ID as thinkd.j@gmail.com and I get the confirmation link.
Now, I goto Gmail > Settings > Filter and create a filter for all mails with TO: containing “thinkd.j@gmail.com” to go to the trash OR apply a label. That way, I can find out which site gave out my email ID to the gazillion spammers out there.
personal and business computers doesn’t need to have similar characteristics
You can’t hack gmail. That is b.s. My computer guy said it isn’t possible. ticketslayer@gmail.com LOL
You are a very smart person!
Hi there, I found your blog via Google while searching for first aid for a heart attack and your post looks very interesting for me.
You made some good points there. I did a search on the topic and found most people will agree with your blog.
I just tried myself. It’s really good.
