Thing #19: Discovering Web 2.0 Tools

Wow. I just tried http://forlater.net/ for a time-management helper. It (so far) seems to be great. I had it send me a reminder to do something, promptly forgot I was supposed to do something, and then it reminded me at the time I specified! Definitely a worthwhile tool. Hopefully it continues to work this well. All you do is specify your day, time, and then type in your reminder and email address. The only problem I can see is if your power or internet were down when you needed the reminder. But that doesn’t happen that frequently…

This would be great in the library setting in a number of ways. We could send out meeting-date reminders, project deadline reminders, program/event reminders, etc.
