It would be great as a browser plugin for creating new accounts and not needing to give them my real email address.

I thought of that too, there are a couple of services that do this, although not as a browser plugin. I thought it might be more compelling for people to be able to use this service to add this functionality to their application, if they were using a provider like heroku where you don't get a mail server with your hosting.
Thanks for the feedback.

I think it would be better marketed as a tool for initial contact with people you may not necessarily want to have long-term knowledge of where to contact you.
For signing up for stuff, there is mailinator/bugmenot/etc., and many sites block such services anyway.

I thought similar, that this would be useful for community type sites where you need someone to contact you but don't want to share your email address.
Thanks for the feedback
