Gmail Hack: Stop Creating Multiple Trash Gmail Accounts

I wrote about this useful hack back in January, and I want to make sure my readers can see it here too.

"With gmail accounts, you can add a +”anything” right before the @gmail.com and google will ignore it. This is a little confusing, so let me give you an example.

If my email is brian@gmail.com (I wish I had that address), I could sign up for the first twitter account with brian+twitter1@gmail.com. I could then sign up for another twitter account with brian+twitter2@gmail.com. All of the emails would get sent to brian@gmail.com."

Read the rest of this hack on my minimalism blog.
