ASK: Do you think there is a need for temporary key messengers?

Would you like a messenger that stores a temporary key that you can give out on the internet for other people to connect with you?

When you are done, you can generate a new key so that you stop getting connected by random strangers.

So, disposable user names / screen names for instant messaging? That would be good. It would be convenient to allow "username+filterword" as a contact address, the way gmail and spamgourmet do.

Most of the existing 'disposable' ones are web based chatrooms. http://www.webresourcesdepot.com/7-free-disposable-chat-syst... Also see https://www.spamgourmet.com
