Because sometimes you just can’t find the words or space to tell someone something important, (like you might have an STD) ISIS Inc has taken care of some of the hard stuff. All you need to do is use responsibly and click send. InSpot.org lets you send a free, anonymous e-card to lovers past and present to let them know they need to get tested for potential STD’s. How great is that? A service that takes the stress out of dropping that uber embarrassing bomb.
