Well, not my blog post. This is what will happen if you use VaporStream to send your emails. So what really does VaporStream really do?
VaporStream has introduced its Stream Messaging System that removes all records of an email after it has been read by the recipient. According to VaporStream, this idea has appealed to 91% of America’s corporate executives in recent independent market research studies (no sources are referred to in this case though).
The way VaporStream works is that it separates the header of the message, the who, what and where, from the body of the message. There is no record connecting the VaporStream subscriber with the content of the message. Messages sent using VaporStream cannot be forwarded, edited, saved, printed, or cut and pasted. Once read, messages are gone forever. As VaporStream site says:
VaporStream is totally recordless.
VaporStream uses a custom login system using your email and password. So if you want to send a confidential message using VaporStream, enter or select the e-mail recipient’s address, and start composing your message. As soon as you being typing your message, recipient’s name vanishes. When you finally send your message it goes through VaporStream’s SSL encrypted network and is delivered to the recipient. When the message is opened, the sender’s name gets deleted from the message header, and the message gets deleted from VaporStream servers. VaporStream works on both PC and Mobile platforms.
For individual users VaporStream is available for $39.99 per year and additional $5.00 per year if you also want access from mobile. VaporStream also has enterprise plan which cost the same for each user as for an individual account, with an additional $5 setup charge.
Personally I want to save all my email so it doesn’t really help me. But there will be lot of people who will like to get their hands on VaporStream. Is it a good idea for corporate sector to implement VaporStream? I don’t think so. Will know in next few months how it works out for VaporStream. On the lighter side, if VaporStream had launched their product few years back, Frank Quattrone would have been a happier man today.
