Gmail address extensions

Did you know you that if you have a @gmail address, you can modify it by using the + sign? So let's say your e-mail address is name@gmail.com and you want to sign up for Facebook. But, you don't want them to send you tons of e-mails, at least not without it being filtered, and you don't want to take the time to find the address they use.

You can sign up with name+facebook@gmail.com and it will still go to your inbox. The catch is, you can setup a filter to grab whatever is being sent to name+facebook as opposed to just name, and then redirect it to the trash, or a label, or mark it important. Try it out.
