Here i am with another project of mine! FunnyInbox is my latest work. It all started a few days back when i received a funny email from a friend with an attached video of about 4 megs. Immediately I remembered talking to a friend a few months back where we were saying that all these funny emails give us a nice laugh but fill up our inboxes and put some serious load on the mailserver. Why wouldn’t someone take the time to upload to an external host and then just provide us with the link? Well just because the “Forward” button seems so easy to push. That’s true. So, i decided to put up a site where all my funny e-mails would go. No more forwarding (actually i almost never forwarded). Any funny e-mail that will land on my inbox and i feel it’s funny enough to share it with you guys will go there. My ultimate goal is to create a site that someone, on his spare time, would browse just to take a good dosage of fun. Videos, pictures, picture collections, PPT’s are things i’ll be posting there. I know that there are millions of funny sites out there but frankly i don’t care 🙂 All i want is a place to collect some fun things and share with friends.
Now, you can also help! If you have any e-mail that you think is funny just forward it to me at the email: mails [at] funnyinbox [dot] net. In return i will include a name and a link back to your site as a thank you. If you want to check out more about sharing please see here.
So, do you like the place? Do you think that you will become a regular?
thanks. i ll check it..
Sounds familiar to Posterous. Interesting project Stratos, have sent few funny mails 🙂
btw, why don’t you allow people to signup and submit stuff?
@Raju: Well something like but the fact is that funnyinbox is all about funny things. Thanks for visiting and thanks for sending your funny emails! I will definitely upload them!
Nice concept man. Checking it out right now
Its been quite a while since I saw you, any new project coming up? 🙂
Man, you rock… That’s awesome, but I have few suggestions for you.
There is a chance of high duplicate content in this case.
Why not make another mail id which has a autoscript which processes and sends back a random funny mail back to the sender. Say, you have fun@funnyinbox.net , when I feel bored, I send a blank mail to this id and this id immediately replies with a random funny mail. Later on you can enhance it… Howz the idea?
@Pavan: This is one very valued comment Pavan. You added a very precious idea to the project. I will see how can i implement it. Excellent idea! Do you have any more? 😛
This may take more time, but results will be awesome on long run. Tagging all mails and then user can choose which topic mails he needs. If I want to send birthday wishes to my friend, I send a mail with subject / body as “birthday” to fun@funnyinbox.net and it returns related mail, if related one is not found, a random one will result. May be the extensions would include scheduling the mails for some special day.
Also, better think of providing serial number for each mail and if I want 18th funny mail (which should be available on blog/site), let me send 18 in subject / body and get the same to my inbox.
If I start thinking more, I may through all garbage in my mind to your blog 😉 😛 Will update when I get a new idea, I have your mail id 🙂
@Pavan: This is among the most valuable feedbacks i ever took on a project. All these are great ideas and believe me you got me thinking too 😉 So, please, if you have any more please keep them coming! You rock!! 😉
Remembering the hectic days of immense workloads, now I don’t mind a place to share some laughters while getting to know some bloggers/sites in return. Not bad, think that’ll work.
