The Coolest Email Trick

Until today, I had no idea that adding a number to the end of your email address before the ‘@’ symbol could allow you to theoretically create infinite email addresses.

I discovered this little thing while trying to circumvent “single email per account” restrictions on Twitter.

myemail@example.com
becomes
myemail+2@example.com

Wrap Up #
