Superminder

As I am not becoming younger and younger everyday, I tend to be forgetful on certain things that need to be done. I tried to source for a good reminder service on the Web and in fact there are many of them. Yet new reminder services are being introduced and one of them is Superminder.

As the name implies, Superminder is essentially a reminder service that remind us on things to do for Web content. After you signing up for the service, you can go to your personal dashboard and add reminders, or change the timezone. However, before the system automatically send you the reminders, you must first input the confirmation key that Superminder sent to you. Of course, you can schedule your reminders and the reminder messages can be delivered by email or automated cellphone. Thus, it will be most useful if you do not want to miss any big date in your life. Perhaps you want to support Superminder for the great service it delivered to you, you can support them by buying the SMS credit from them.

From a user’s standpoint, Superminder didn’t have many differentiating factors from other reminder services out there on the Web, but it has a very easy to use and clean looking interface.

Urge-Me

The other day I stumbled onto a newly launched reminder service called Urge-Me. Urge-Me, as the name would imply, this is all about urging you on the thing you want to do. Though this domain name has been registered not older than two (2) weeks, it could be served as a useful tool to help us remember the things we need to get it done via emails that automatically sent by the Urge-Me system.

Urge-Me has a pretty simple interface, all you need to do is type in your email address, to-do list, enter the calendar, and one additional step is to verify your email address, then it is done. While the reminder is automatically sent to you via email, Urge-Me seem to be implemented a series of reminder emails that urge you on your to-do list with its own system-scheduled email reminders. Currently, the scheduled reminders are in text messages via emails, and will not go to your phone. Nevertheless, the reminder service it offered end up being very similar to other reminder services in the field, and as such, Urge-Me will be competed with a lot of players that offered reminder services and it will very difficult for them to get enough traction.
