Futuretxt is infinitely useful

June 6th, 2007

My friends at Waterfall Mobile launched a service called Futuretxt and I’ve found it incredibly useful…and have used it A LOT as a result. So much so, in fact, that I feel like I’ve shirked my responsibility to tell people about it.

It’s a really easy way to schedule a message to be sent to any cell phone at any time in the future. Here are 3 of my recent Futuretxts to give you an idea of the variety of things I used to forget on a daily basis:

  1. “Eat sausage and cheese” was sent to me 8 minutes ago to remind me to eat the sausages and cheese (freshly made in Fort Bragg) that Susie sent me to work with yesterday. I put them in the refrigerator yesterday evening and didn’t want to forget (again) to eat them. Mmm, sausage.
  2. “Bring contracts to work” was sent to me a few days back at about the time I arrive home from my office so I would not forget (again) to put them in my bag for transport to the office fax machine.
  3. “Take beer out of car” was sent to Susie at the moment she pulled into the garage of her apartment. Those cans of beer had been sloshing around in the back of her car for a week and we kept forgetting to take them upstairs. Now they’re chilling.

Post-its are SO a long time ago.

    Re: #2, should your work contracts really be at home in the first place? I would suggest a futuretxt every workday at 4:55pm announcing: “Leave sensitive work documents at work.”
