The conversation in the middle of the post doesn't sound too different from conversations I've had with friends. I hope I didn't miss out on a big opportunity...

Www.dodgeit.com was doing this long before mailinator. They eventually shut down for some reason, but still, mailinator wasn't original. Just well timed.

If you define "luminary" ideas as those that aren't based on any previous ideas, then it's almost a given that none exist. Even when an idea is the logical next step, it can still be game-changing for those clever or lucky enough to realize it.

Does Paul Tyma maintain any blog(s) now? I just spent the last two hours reading his personal and mailinator blogs..

This is Paul.

Sorry, I don't blog much anymore.

And no, Dodgeit was not first. Roger and I emailed many many times, but he'll happily admit Mailinator preceded Dodgeit by about 6 months (even heard him say it on a podcast once). Not that it matters much.
