Rediff has launched a new service called Webinmail. And it literally does the same. The service is meant for people who have restricted Internet access and want to view web pages.
You send an email to ‘browse@webinmail.com’ with the web page URL that you want to view in the subject line. The service responds with an email reply with the target webpage in the response. Click on any link within this webpage and the process repeats itself. In other words, a new email for every interaction with the webpage.
I’m still trying to make sense of why such a service is really needed ? I mean, can you really be so desperate to access the web that you’re willing to receive a deluge of email responses with the web pages ? As if our inboxes werent flooded enough, here’s another way to shoot yourself in the foot.
Also, I couldnt try this since I’m not using my personal laptop — but will the service also respond to porn and other sites as well ? If so, I can definitely see that the service will have a loyal fanbase.
What do you think ?
Would put this in the “Why bother” category
lol like the porn site angle…..man a delight for office goers who have proxies set up…ths service might be a blessing for them
rizwan — if you get a chance to try out the porn angle, let me know if it works
I am really loving the theme/design of your blog. Do you ever run into any browser compatibility problems? A few of my blog readers have complained about my blog not working correctly in Explorer but looks great in Chrome. Do you have any suggestions to help fix this problem?
