It reminds me of a similar service many years old, which eventually got shut down by the authorities because some very bad people was using he's service.

I can't remember the name of the guy or the service, but you should be careful such a service.

Other than that, it's really cool and useful!

well... it's hosted in switzerland which usually has friendly authorities in such matters. Additionally, I'm not logging anything.

But it's a fun project after all - the second I get an official complaint, it's gone.

In the mean time, my next step would be to implement a bookmarklet that fills out any field on any form on any webpage so that you don't even have to manually go back to the tempalias.com site.
