YouMail.com - Easily Ditch the SO with One Call

YouMail is one of those services that will leave you wondering how you ever lived without it. It's that cool and practical and cheeky too.

The concept is dead simple really: personalized voicemail messages for work, family, boyfriend, girlfriend, foreign friends, your florist, your dog walker, whomever; each message is assigned to a number the same way you designate separate ringtones for different callers. So your boss calls and instead of answering you can leave a professional, yet friendly message that says you're hard at work, even if you're in Cancun. Same goes with the SO or the in-laws. Perhaps their most brilliant feature is a little something called DitchMail. DitchMail plays a message and then hangs up on the caller—great for exes, telemarketers, that guy you met at the mall the other day. Messages can be composed and listened to online via email; you can forward those hilarious messages from your mother to your friends, safeguard those candid, all too revealing calls for later use, or simply relish the sound of a loved one. YouMail's absolutely free, and for the less inspired they've come up with readymade messages to choose from.
