Recently, my friend chethan wrote an article on how to protect email ids in public pages from Spam? He explained that we need to use captcha method, I come up with another method by converting any text (say your email id itself) into image. So once it is converted into image, you can protect yourself from spam bots.

IMG4Me is an online tool to protect your private information from collected by crawlers by converting your text into image. Any text of yours will be actually rendered as an image and thus protect your email/personal information from being scooped up by crawlers. Ultimately you can prevent spammers from sending junks into your inbox.

Nice tool. I have seen this before where emails are protected on educational sites so they cannot be scraped easily.
