What is Online Reminder
Service?
An Online Reminder is an automatic, Internet reminder messaging
requiring no special software, hardware, or special connections.
With online reminder, you can remind yourself, family members,
friends, business associates, and anyone else of those important
dates to remember. Then you can send a pre-scheduled notifications
or pre-designed greeting cards for birthdays, anniversaries,
Mother’s day, Father’s day, business meetings,
weekend plans, or simply to remind someone that you love them!
If you’ve ever missed an important appointment or your
wife’s birthday or any other significant event, there
are plenty of free online reminder services to help you stay
on task and not miss one of the most important things of your
life such as your boss’ birthday or dentist appointment,
or anything that may be reminded of. As we are web resource
we will review online reminders only. As we also think that
this is not something worth paying money for we will test
only free services excluding paid services.
How Web Reminder Service works?
It is usually that you come to the website and register for
an account. Some of the services require email verification
prior any reminder being sent to that email. Once the email
is confirmed you may add the reminder and the time to be reminded.
This is just the basics. Some go further and let you select
the event type and the reminder scheduling so to be notified
in advance or the same day and the frequency of alerts such
as every day, week, month, year, etc. Many of services have
convenient monthly events calendar so you can see your scheduled
tasks all the time. Once you have your reminder set you will
be sent the alert from the service through email or sms when
the time comes.
Who uses Online Reminders?
Have you ever missed an important event? Do you feel overstrained
because of the big amount of information you deal with everyday?
You have short memory or very forgetful? Or just want to be
more organized? If you answer any of such questions positive
you should really use Online Reminder or Online Planner especially
when it is free. It is always great to have someone or something
reminding of things to do.
Reliability of Online Reminder
Services
The reliability of such service is limited only by you meaning
that though the reminder is sent you still have to check your
email. If you don’t check your mailbox at least once
a day such service is a waste of time for you as it will not
help unless it has Wireless reminding option. Half of the
systems under testing had this option and reminders could
be send to mobile device as a part of email>to>mobile
service of cell providers. One more problem making the service
not 100% reliable are widely used spam filters. Some reminders
were stopped by filters and would never reach the inbox as
they had advertising in the message body.
Conclusion
This is very helpful and very useless service at the same
time. You may surely set you cell phone reminder or install
some kind of software to your PC such as Cute Reminder or
just have the stickers all around your working space as reminders
but when you need one more way of reminding than Online Reminder
Service comes into play. This is especially very useful if
your job is related to computers and Internet where you check
your email several times during the day. The services having
sms notification option are more useful in this respect.
