Mrs. Mecomber's Scrapbook Talking technology, computers, and the Internet… for the average computer user

I found a really neat website called ReSnooze. It looks pretty neat for those of us who are, um, forgetful, sometimes. I have a big problem with forgetting things. And NO it’s not OLD AGE! I have so much stuff crammed in my little ol’ head that it sometimes goes irretrievably spilling out! lol. My kids love to send me IMs, and they sometimes send them with important news, like “remember to schedule that orthodontic appointment!!!” or “You need to buy a playstation 3 game for cousin’s birthday!” Well, needless to say, I rarely remember these IM messages. “EMAIL ME, kids!” I say. They’re getting pretty good at it.

I do sometimes email myself with important messages. But the problem is that the email is usually sent right away, and is received into my Inbox, where I sometimes, uh, FORGET that it’s there. So I find ReSnooze appealing.

It’s a free little online application. You enter in your email address, your message, and how often you want to be reminded. ReSnooze’s policy says they don’t share your email address with anyone. And it looks like the program is free to use (although I think there is a paid version coming up). There’s an informative viral video about ReSnooze:

It’s another very convenient way to get reminders. Check it out if you are inclined.
