My friend Greg Cohn’s startup just launched Burner an app which enables you to create short term, disposable phone numbers on the iPhone.

For a couple bucks you get a number suitable for selling stuff on Craigslist, texting with your next blind date, or prank calling Mitt Romney’s campaign HQ. Then destroy it when you don’t need it anymore.

But seriously, I’m sure you’ll only use it for good, right? That’s what I thought.

“We’re very excited to announce the release of a new iOS app and service called Burner. You can now find it in the App Store.”
