I sent something and it didn't appear so I thought the joke was that it is static content and you did this to privately see what people send. My second submission was posted quickly. I'm pretty sure I sent them to the same number.

Update: latency seems to vary but both posts went up

Yeah we're a little concerned about the fax receiving service: interfax if anyone's interested. We've seen fragments coming in a few times and heard one report of a fax that didn't go through.

I like it. I've never actually sent a fax out in my life, but for those who have one would probably enjoy the anonymity of this.

It would be fun to read love notes, breakup letters or random hate notes this way.

Great job!

I get that this is an April Fools joke, but I can still see this taking off!

Thanks! Neither of us have slept. Wooooooooooooooo

Here's the chartbeat if you're curious http://chartbeat.com/dashboard2/?url=faxins.com&k=ee2a4f...

It is? My first thought was actually "brilliant!" I can see how this implementation is a bit of a joke, but there is a bigger issue here. There's still a disconnect between the digital and physical world. I think any attempt to merge the two a little more is a win.

Awesome. Testing spam filter. :)

FaxIns, FaxOuts, you can't explain that.
