It’s a busy world we are living in. Technology was supposed to make it more easy for us, but now its getting more complicated, we spend more time with gadgets just to make our lives easier and end up wasting more time. But there’s nor escaping it now, either go to the stone ages or do the techie thing. All right enough of this rambling, lets get to the point. Today we talk about online reminders, how do they work, are they useful and finally which ones to use?
Ok first things first, What is an online reminder?. An online reminder is simply an utility that is available via the web for reminding oneself about any upcoming event like a birthday, meeting, anniversary or whatever.
How does it work? Quite simple, you register via web, you are sent an email for verification purposes and you verify it, finally you start getting reminders in your mail box. (Some services also offer reminders via SMS)
Are they useful? Obviously, that’s why there are so many of them. In order to use them you have to check your mail on daily basis at least, because otherwise it won’t make much sense. Given that most of us have an E-mail address and we check our mails more than once a day so an online reminder is a very useful service and more importantly because it comes for free. Check out some of these, they will do you good.
Online Reminders is a free web service that will send you reminders regarding Birthdays, Family and Relationship goals, Personal Finance, Education, Recreation, Heath & Fitness, Time Management, Career and Home Improvement. Off course it is for free and you will be emailed every time you set a reminder.
Freminder is yet another free service that will send you reminders for free. The company plans to introduce SMS reminder service shortly. Moreover, it also has Share Reminders for sharing your reminders with a Group of people which might come useful for office work.
Memotome will do all these things which Freminder does plus it will send SMS to your mobile or even your pager, but that off course is paid.
Besides the above some good reminder services are anyreminder, remindtime and backpackit.
