How To Share Private Messages Online Via PrivNote
To send one time share message you are required to follow these simple steps:
- Type your message in the large text area.
- You may opt to receive an email notification by selecting the checkbox. Upon selection, it will convert to a small textbox asking for your email address.
- Next, click on ‘create note’ button at bottom section of the page. Soon, you will be redirected to the new page displaying a unique URL embedded in a textbox.
- Now, copy and share the link with person with whom you want to share your message.
* If you make your mind about not sharing the message, then open the URL in your web browser by clicking on ‘destroy it now’ link.
The first person opening the URL will be able to view the message. After that, it will be removed permanently.
Viewing Messages:
When the receiver opens the URL, he will be presented the message and a warning that it cannot be seen again. The PrivNote reminded me about the famous MI movies.
Important Things to Note:
Have a look on points in context to PrivNote.

- PrivNote utilizes 256 bit SSL encryption to share private messages online.

PrivNote is definitely a cool option to share private messages online. I have no issue in recommending it for non-commercial use.
