Gmail Messages Can Now Self-Destruct

Posted by samzenpus on from the in-10-seconds dept.

New submitter Amarjeet Singh writes: Dmail is a Chrome extension developed by the people behind Delicious, the social bookmarking app/extension. This extension allows you to set a self-destruct timer on your emails. You can use Dmail to send emails from Gmail as usual, but you will now have a button which can set an self destruct timer of an hour, a day or a week. Dmail claims it will also unlock a feature that won't allow forwarding, meaning only the person you sent your message to will be able to see it.

    It wouldn't be surprising if in a near version of Windows, we see a way to have 'uncopyable' or 'unscreenshotable' sections. We already have DRM embedded in popular OSes with some video playback.
