Memory problems? Maybe L8r will help you.

L8r is an online app, that lets you send e-mail reminders to yourself and not only.

From L8r.com

• prepare up to five year’s worth of happy birthday emails
• remind your friends one day before the Bloomingdale sale
• remind yourself to buy flowers on your wedding anniversary
• impress your boss by “sending” email at 11 PM (and showing up at 8 AM next day!)

The free user have a maximum of 3 scheduled messages. Paid version has lots more to offer. See L8r Pro.

This app is just what i needed, considering the fact that i forget to do lots of things .

The only worry i have is, what if i forget to use L8r as well to send reminders to myself? :S

Update

Tips from friends – Thanks Dave!

A similar app to L8r is forLater, which is completely free, and no account needed.

Just bookmark it and keep sending reminders to yourself.

That’s it!

There are 10 categories and each category contains 10 winners.

Is not a surprise at all that many apps that we all know, made it on that list – Firefox, Skype, YouTube, etc…

One thing that really got my attention on that list is Google . Why? Because it is almost on every category with its apps; 7 categories, to be more precise.

I guess that makes Google the biggest winner of all…..

Anyway, head over to Webware to have a look at the 100 winners list and judge it yourself.
