Recall EmailPeopleString offers each of its members a free web based recall email account. The email offers the same basic features you expect in any web based e-mail. The features that sets PeopleString e-mail apart however is the ability to send email as:
If the recall email or self-destructing e-mail option is selected the sender is able to set a time limit on self-destructing messages or a view limit on recall e-mail. The recall email will then self-destruct after a certain amount of time or views. Self-destructing email is invaluable when sending sensitive information or when feeling regret over an emotional response. How many times have you wished that you could recall email or take advantage of self-destructing email? The video email is also a free offering from people string and of course requires a video camera or WebCam. Sending a video email is simple enough, but during my attempts sending failed several times. While I cannot exclude the possibility that it was my computer and system causing the failure was reproduced on several different computers. I found the video email to be the most quirky and less reliable feature of the email offering. Finally, there is a masquerade feature of the PeopleString email that allows you to set the appearance of who your email is coming from to either be from another address or appear as if it comes from your first and/or last name rather than your standard PeopleString email. While there are several paid email tracking services (and I have used them all) PeopleString is one of the very few offering this recall email service for free. This is a great service to have in your email arsenal. If you would like your own recall or self-destructing email then create your free PeopleString account today! [EDIT: PeopleString has discontinued the email features of their program as of Sept. 20, 2012.] |
PeopleString Terminating Email Service Effective Sept. 20, 2012
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. |
