Creating safer, simpler and more secure email signatures is a breeze.
The following example demonstrates how norbt gave back control of his email signatures to John Smith.
Let’s see what John Smith did
Here is his original email signature:
--
John Smith
email: jsmith57@fakeemail.com
cell: 444-444-444

His old email signature had a few problems:
- It’s too long. It distracted people away from the content of his email.
- He has no control over who receives his personal information.
- He has no means to update his signature after sending an email
To solve his problem he creates a norbt for his personal email signature. This is a norbt that only friends and family will be able to access. To limit access only to this audience he creates a question that only this close group of people would know. John’s norbt question for his personal contact details is “What are the names of my children? Format : daugther name (space) son name.” answer: “Julia Zack”
His new norbt email signature is:
- -
John Smith

Since John has created his norbt a couple people have asked him to remind them the name of his kids. John thinks twice about these requests since these folks can’t be too good of a friend if they don’t know how many kids he has!
Several people have commented on the fact that his emails don’t use 10 sheets of paper when they print them out.
He has been congratulated by somebody in the IT department for the nettiquete of his email signature.
In the weeks following the creation of his norbt, John changed a couple of contact details. Since he changed the data in his norbt, his data is up-to-date in all of his emails, even those that he sent before he changed his details.
Another thing that amazes him is that he is not receiving as much spam as he did in his email accounts, he wonders if making his contact data only accessible to humans (via a norbt email signature) has anything to do with it.
Using norbt for email signature improved John Smith’s life, it may improve yours as well.
