A dictionary for hiding and finding email addresses

You came here for more privacy, and I agree with you: you need more privacy! Privacy is not 'granted' nowadays. Read more on your human right to privacy from Bruce Schneier (one of the best security experts of the world). This website will help you only a little bit in getting more privacy - but this service can be the missing link you were looking for. Were you looking for "berna mendulo"? You got me! This is my email as a picture : or this one is very protected at showmyemail.com: http://www.showmyemail.com/show/b67a7f44976f3c53a312a895fcb3b33a - now, please send me a mail...

The concept is simple: there are places on the internet where it is not allowed - or not advisable - to spell out your email address (or any other identity). Instead, put there a message of some free text, and conceal some unique keywords within a simple, innocent-looking sentence. The same keywords can be stored again at a safer part of the internet (here) where they will be easily found by any good search engines. Simply put your email address (or pseudonym, whatever you want) here and associate it with your keywords. Everyone, who were interested in your "identity" elsewhere, will find it here. It is your duty to use a proper mechanism to protect your overall identity, we can not help you in that. This service is only a dictionary of your hints/keywords and the corresponding email addresses/pseudonyms. See my entry again as an example:
  • berna mendulo http://www.showmyemail.com/show/b67a7f44976f3c53a312a895fcb3b33a All what remains is to tell how to get a new entry created here. You have two options: create a comment on this page or send me a mail with your data to include.

    How to create unique keywords?

    Let me tell you how I created my keywords and hopefully that will make it clear. I went to the library and grabbed a dictionary (rare languages are better!), and picked two words. Fired up Google and typed the words in - tons of results came... Then I started to change the vowels - hat to hut, bat to bot. Of course, the words became meaningless, what is not relevant here... I repeated that until there were not any more pages on the whole internet with both of my two "words" (berna mendulo)!

    After it I have got a new email account which I use ONLY to track the place where my hint is concealed.
