It is generally advisable not to spill out personal information like passwords, credit card information etc, over the Internet – well, at least the public domain of it. Instant Messaging clients, social networks, forums etc, are the least safe place where you can share such information. However, what if you’re in a really dire need of sharing any personal information, and don’t have any other medium than to share it in risky environments. Or, suppose you want to deliver a message to a friend on a public forum and want to keep it such that only the two of you can decipher it? Does that hold true for you?

In that aspect, Ncode.ME is one solid contender. Read More
