FollowUp.cc
If you’ve ever sent an email hoping you’ll remember to follow up (and who hasn’t?), FollowUp.cc can change your email life forever. When you send an email to a client, employee or whoever, you can set an email reminder for any time period. If you enter into the CC box: 4days@followup.cc, both you and the person you emailed will get a reminder email (if they haven’t responded) in four days. If you’d prefer for only you to get the reminder, you simply BCC the same address: 4days@followup.cc. To keep track of what reminders are coming up, you can integrate FollowUp with iCal and get RSS feeds of your upcoming reminders.
