404 Instant Messaging
A good friend and colleague of mine, who shall remain nameless, is a very conscientious webmaster. He's fastidious when it comes to broken links, and, not content to discover them from the web server logs, has fashioned a custom ASP page for 404s that instantly sends him an email with the offending URL and referrer.
So when I want to send him a quick note, I type something like this into the address bar of my browser:
http://www.domain-withheld.com/the-content-of-my-note-goes-here.
The joke is probably wearing off quickly...
