This is a very old page, and most of the links on it will be broken. It is included only to illustrate a point -- not using your own name or ordinary e-mail address in the forms (once included, now deactivated, soon to reappear) which were on these pages.
Free E-Mail (WebMail) Services
All participants in the (currently nameless) social matching project at SocialTechnology.ca are asked to get a new e-mail address that they can use exclusively for that project. The reasons are very important, so they are reproduced here. If you have already read them, you can go directly to the list . If you become a participant in the project, here is what you will be told:
Please do NOT use your own name or ordinary e-mail address in any of our forms. The user name given here should be an alias chosen to conceal your identity, and the e-mail address should be one obtained specifically for this purpose from one of the services which provides free webmail . If you haven't obtained a suitable e-mail address, please do so now. Just go to a webmail service like myownemail (at http://www.myownemail.com/) or webbox (http://www.webbox.com/) , both recommended by usually reliable reviewers, and follow the instructions on their page for getting a free webmail address.Please select an e-mail address your friends and family won't be able to guess -- your complete privacy and anonymity are important. The best way and only practical method we've got for preserving privacy and security is if none of us know who anybody is and so nobody can identify the people who filled out any of the forms in any way -- except by a mysterious e-mail address that they don't use for any other purpose at all. We don't want to know who anybody is, we only need to know some way of linking the various forms together so that we can combine the answers a person gave on one form with those given on the others -- and, of course, we need an e-mail address that we can send the results to.
Please take your own privacy and security needs seriously. We know this is an inconvenience, but it is something important. Of course we will protect the privacy of people who do use their own address -- we'll try hard to do so -- but privacy and security aren't the only problems with using your ordinary address: if you know that at least one person might know who you are, your answers will be affected, not being quite as open as otherwise. Even the best of us changes our behaviour in many ways when others may be watching. So, if you did fill in a form and used your ordinary address, please consider getting a new address and filling out that form again.
Anyway, the sermon is over and we can move on to the list of webmail providers.
This list is nowhere near complete, and an entry on it does not count as a recommendation . This list is here merely as a convenience. But we have been informed by ususally reliable reviewers that the first two services on this list are pretty good. A form for providing service reviews online will be available soon.

New: Social Technology through Diagrams
New: Social Techs novel online
The main Social Technology page.
Find Compatibles, the key page, with the real solution to all other problems explained
Technological Fantasies , a page about future technology
Social Tech a page about Social Technology, technology for social purposes. I think I was the first person to use this phrase on the Internet, quite a long time ago.
Roughly corresponding to these web pages are the following blogs:
Social Technology the main blog, hosted on this site, with posts imported from the following blogger.com blogs, which still exist and are useable.
Find Compatibles devoted to matching people with friends, lovers, jobs, places to live and so on, but doing so in ways that will actually work, using good math, good algorithms, good analysis.
Technological Fantasies devoted to future stuff, new ideas, things that might be invented or might happen, such as what is listed above and below.
Sex-Politics-Religion is a blog about these important topics, which I have been told should never be mentioned in polite conversation. Alright that advice does seem a bit dated, but many people are still told not to bring up these subjects around the dinner table.
I believe I was the first person on the Internet to use the phrase Social Technology -- years before the Web existed.
Those were the good old days, when the number of people using the net exceeed the amount of content on it, so that it was easy to start a discussion about such an upopular topic. Now things are different. There are so many web pages that the chances of anyone finding this page are low, even with good search engines like Google. Oh, well.
By Social Technology I mean the technology for organizing and maintaining human society. The example I had most firmly in mind is the subject of Find Compatibles, what I consider to be the key page, the one with the real solution to all other problems explained.
As I explained on my early mailing lists and later webpages, I find that social technology has hardly improved at all over the years. We still use representative democracy, exactly the same as it was used in the 18th century. By contrast, horse and buggy transporation has been replaced by automobiles and airplanes, enormous changes.
In the picture below you will see some 18th century technology, such as the ox-plow in the middle of the picture. How things have changed since then in agricultural technology. But we still use chance encounters, engagements and marriages to organize our home life and the raising of children.
I claim that great advances in social technology are not only possible but inevitable. I have written three novels about this, one preposterously long, 5000 pages, another merely very very long, 1500 pages. The third is short enough at 340 pages to be published some day. Maybe. The topic is still not interesting to most people. I will excerpt small parts of these novels on the web sometime, maybe even post the raw text for the larger two.
This site includes many pages dating from 1997 to 2008 which are quite out of date. They are included here partly to show the development of these ideas and partly to cover things the newer pages do not. There will be broken links where these pages referenced external sites. I've tried to fix up or maiintain all internal links, but some will probably have been missed. One may wish to look at an earlier version of this page, rather longer, and at an overview of most parts of what can be called a bigger project.
Type in this address to e-mail me. The image is interesting. See Status of Social Technology

I have used a series of e-mail address over the years, each of which eventually became out of date because of a change of Internet services or became almost useless because of spam. Eventually I stuck with a Yahoo address, but my inbox still fills up with spam and their spam filter still removes messages I wanted to see. So I have switched to a new e-mail service. Web spiders should not be able to find it, since it is hidden in a jpeg picture. I have also made it difficult to reach me. The picture is not a clickable link. To send me e-mail you must want to do so badly enough to type this address in. That is a nuisance, for which I do apologize, but I just don't want a lot of mail from people who do not care about what I have to say.
