Every day, we waste a lot of our time sending and remembering reminders. Sending reminders is a thankless chore; many of us will happily give our right arms for a tool that can save us from becoming follow-up pigeons! Thankfully we now have a safe, secure and FREE tool for sending reminders automatically on our behalf. YES! We are not joking; there really is a service willing to send reminders on our behalf!
The nifty little tool is a product of
Internet Simplicity, a creative web development shop based in San Jose, California, and is called
FollowUpThen.
The e-mail based tool works on all e-mails clients with zero requirements of its own. You don’t even have to create an account or register on the website! Simply compose an email and include
[schedule format]@followupthen.com e.g. '
2minute@followupthen.com' in either "To", "Cc" or "Bcc" fields of your email. The use of "To", "Cc" and "Bcc" fields enables you to alter your reminder according to your need.
•
To: You, the sender, get a reminder after the lapse of specified time interval - a self reminder of sorts.
•
Bcc: Only you (not the recipient) receive a follow-up, regardless of reply.
•
Cc: A reminder e-mail, with a little graphical note, is sent to both you and the recipient after the specified time interval.
