Did you ever wanted to send a message to a friend whish will self destruct after he read it. This may sound like mission impossible move, yet there can be such a serious requirement. The solution is definitely not Email or a SMS.
Once you send a email to someone a copy of message is there in your outbox as well as inbox of the sender. In addition there can be lots of copies in the servers of the email service provider. The situation is same with the SMS as well.
When I was looking for a service which is giving you self destructive messages service, PrivNotes caught my eyes. Using this online tool you can send a private message to any one and it will get self destruct after reading.
How to Use PrivNote?
The usage of this tool is very simple and you don’t even have to register or provide any personal information.
- Visit the PrivNote home page.
- There is a big text editor. Type your message there.
- Check Notify me when this note gets read if it’s required.
- If you check it, you will have to provide your email address
- Finally click on Create note.
- Then it will take you to another page where you can get a secured link to the message.
- There you can destroy the message without sending it or create another note.
- You can share the given link to message with anyone.
- Once someone accesses the link once, it will get self destruct. After that it won’t be available to read.
At this stage of development this tool is not ready for any serious usage. This is more a fun tool yet. But I see a huge potential of developing this tool for serious business and professional usage, probably with mobile devices.
I leave this note as a request to the development to seriously consider upgrading this tool with better integration with other messaging services.
In the mean time you can try sending few messages with PrivNote and share your experience here with Notes Of Genius community.
