Today, September, 12, 2012, Peoplestring support sent members the following email:
"Dear Members, Notice: Effective September 20th, 2012, PeopleString will be the ending the email portion of our services. Unfortunately you will no longer be able to receive emails, send emails, or access any of your old emails after this date. All accounts have been granted POP3 & IMAP access allowing you to back up any email using an email client such as Microsoft Outlook. Instructions for the POP3 settings can be found in PeopleString's FAQS under the email section or by using the link http://peoplestring.com/faq/answers.php?id=7." In my opinion, it's one of the strongest features that made Peoplestring worth hanging onto. Now, it will be gone. This is a worrisome sign as it signals the restructuring predicted following the release of their 10-Q report with the SEC on Aug 14, 2012. This, coupled with the following (and in no particular order) are the current problematic issues affecting Peoplestring: 1) increasing dissatisfaction among members (reflected on the PeopleString Facebook fan page). 2) exodus of even paid members from the PeopleString program (4 of my own 5 up line entrepreneurs are listed as "invalid users"). 3) failure of PeopleString to maintain integrity within the program demonstrated by failure to share and distribute advertising revenue to its members for the past several months and not honor promises made within their recently implemented peoplestring traffic programs). 4) extended disruption of insta-portal technology. 5) extended disruption of transaction records. 6) lack of responsive internal PeopleString support, These are all important issues and none currently being addressed by PeopleString staff. With the termination and interruption of featured services - there is now even less incentive to remain active with PeopleString unless these issues are quickly attended to. If history is any indication then it's not a hopeful prospect. The future does not appear bright for Peoplestring. In similar fashion to their withdrawal of services: Dear Peoplestring Support, Effective September 20, 2012, I will be ending my affiliation with the Peoplestring service and community. Unfortunately you will no longer be able to count on me to generate you revenue by sending/receiving emails, clicking ads, visiting websites, playing games, and using apps. All access to my personal information, emails, and privileges previously granted no longer apply on or after the above date.

Is Bigstring self destructing the free email accounts?
Bigstring Corp. in 2006 developed Bigstring to provide Bigstring email allowing the user control, security and privacy over their transmitted email. BigString has provided free email accounts messaging service that allowing users to send, recall, erase, self-destruct and secure email correspondence. In March 2009, Bigstring launched PeopleString Corp. and has maintained holdings of about 30% of their stock. Similar features of bigstring email technology has been incorporated into PeopleString free email accounts. BigString Then Initially Bigstring email permitted users to send recallable, erasable and self-destructing emails, photos, and video. BigStrings patent-pending technology rendered emails, pictures and video non-printable or non-savable - all which could be accomplished before or after the recipient read the correspondence and regardless of what Internet service provider was being used. The emails could even be edited after having been read by the recipient! BigString Now I've been a heavy user of the free email account Bigstring provides from almost their beginning and had been quite satisfied with the offerings. However, recently I've noticed significant changes in the functionality as well as a decline in the reliability of Bigstrings free email accounts. Sign ups for new users appears to be closed as the option to register is conspicuously missing from the homepage. Previously I could always rely on my Bigstring email to actually expire, self destruct or reflect any changes made at the recipients end. That is no longer true. While my recallable email (self-destructing email) is sent and arrives as it should - they now never show changes I've made to the recipient. I've also experienced several emails remaining available and readable to the recipient following expiration at my end. That's not how it's supposed to work! Other recent changes of the Bigstring free email accounts including the absence of video email. With sign ups to the world's coolest email apparently closed there aren't many Bigstring alternatives (free email accounts with email tracking and self destructive features) available. Fortunately however - this technology is merged (for the most part) with Peoplestring free email accounts. The following are currently available features of the PeopleString free email accounts with 2GB of storage. PeopleString free email accounts
With the recallable email option selected the sender can either place a time limit or a view limit on the transmitted email. The recallable email will then self-destruct after that view or time limit is reached. So far I've not had an email sent from my peoplestring free email account fail to self destruct or expire as it should. While the PeoplesString site claims that emails are able to be edited after being sent I've never seen even an option that would allow me to do so as I could with BigString email in days long past. The email tracking works exceptionally well in documenting the number of views and IP address of the recipient. So, whether you're looking for a BigString alternative, free email accounts, or email tracking with self destructing features - a PeopleString email account may be just what you're looking for!
