Add expressions to your emails with Fuzzmail

When you write somebody an email, you usually make a couple of mistakes at typing or make changes to the draft before sending it. The person receiving the mail never knows what went through while you were composing the mail. It would be interesting if we could send emails that shows how we wrote it, making it "emotionally expressive". With that idea in mind, two guys at the MIT media lab have created Fuzzmail that tries to add a personal touch to emails.

Fuzzmail records the act of writing and lets you send it as an email. When you start typing, it starts recording your keystrokes letter by letter. It captures dynamic changes, typos, pauses, write overs and deletion, and when you click on Send it gives you a link that you can mail it to your friends. When the recipient clicks on the link he can watch the email slowly unfolding exactly the way you created it. Here is an example.

Though Fuzzmail doesn't share your emails with anyone, but the nature of the system is such, that the email link created can be viewed by anybody if they get hold of the link. Fuzzmail is free to use; doesn't require any registering to create mails or to read them. So avoid too personal letters.
