In the grand tradition of Omegle and Chatroulette, Invisible Note is a super basic tool that lets you connect with random strangers -- over e-mail. Still, it's a decidedly message-in-a-bottle affair.

Basically, you visit the Invisible Note website (which was dreamed up by DreamHost), enter any e-mail address @invisiblenote.com and send your epistle into the ether. If someone else shoots a missive to that same address, said person will receive your message and you theirs. Real e-mail addresses will then be exchanged, so don't hop on the rando bandwagon if you value your privacy.

So what's the aim of this experiment? According to the message I received after trying out the service, whoever is lucky enough to e-mail the same address as me "will then become friends for life." Here's hopin' s/he's not a fan of night-vision goggles and collecting body parts.
