We all hate spam — but if you’re like me, you also hate getting all those annoying messages from sites that you have actually signed up for.

Enter services like Guerilla Mail: a temporary email address that works for 15 minutes (you can extend the use of it for another 15 minutes by hitting a button if you need to). Other similar services exist, such as TempInbox and MailExpire (the nice thing about MailExpire is that you can specify the amount of time you want to use the disposable address for).

Most of the time however, we give up our real email addresses in order to get login information to sites. However, Bugmenot will allow you to get logins for various sites without requiring you to bother with confirmation emails and the like.

With the exchange of information always becoming more efficient and expiditious, the disposability of information is increasing at the same pace.

While most of us would probably say that we see less spam now than we did a few years ago, it would appear the amount of spam that is actually sent is actually increasing.

So will spammers eventually tire of sending messages that less and less of us see? Pretty doubtful. If even one message gets through the filter and is clicked on by an end user, the spammer has accomplished his or her goal.

One might wonder, however: what other communications media will be affected next by digital disposability? Phone numbers come to mind as a possible example — people engaged in illicit activites already make use of disposable mobile phones in order to evade law enforcement.

If text message spam became as prevalent of a problem as email spam, would digital disposability extend to phone numbers as well?
