TimeMachiner.com - Send Emails to the Future

Say you’re going on a trip and know you won’t have Internet access on your friend’s birthday next week. At TimeMachiner.com, you can write your friend a birthday email now and the site will hold it for you, to be sent out on the actual day. The service is simple: from the front page, simply enter the email address you’re sending to, a subject, and the body of your email. Then select any date up through the year 2030, and click “Send this email to the future!” TimeMachiner promises to send your email out on the designated date. There are plenty of potential uses for this service, like the aforementioned birthday email, sending yourself a reminder email regarding a task or an important date, or you could even schedule a resignation or break-up email to be sent after you’ve already packed up and left!

“TimeMachiner is a new mini-app that lets you email people in the future. Use it to remind yourself to do something that you’ll more than likely forget, keep your future self on the straight and narrow, even wish your friends happy birthday... the possibilities are endless!”

Microsoft Outlook and some other programs already have tools for setting emails to be sent in the future. TimeMachiner.com brings this service to anyone on the web, regardless of what email program they use. It’s easy to imagine all sorts of potential uses for this program, and that fact it’s free, simple, and there’s no registration required will help attract new users.

TimeMachiner doesn’t require registration or even ask you for your name or email address when you send an email. Will some users abuse this and pretend to be someone else, or use TimeMachiner to send anonymous emails? Could the site at least add an optional account feature, so interested users could log in and see their sent messages, edit a scheduled email, etc.?
