Have you ever had this experiance that you wanted to call someone in the evenings and forgot every evening only to remember in the mornings? I often face this and sometimes I wish when its evening I had something to remind me about that call I have to make. I came across a website which does just that.

Memorari is a nice web site which allows users to set reminders and then send them over SMS, Email, ICQ, MSN, AOL messenger, Jabber and Yahoo chat.

About Memorari

The website’s simplicity is what I liked best. No need so sign-in or register was also something that makes it easy to use.
This is not really a meeting scheduler where you can add details, it more like a one line reminder. So this is more useful on reminding yourself about chores or calls which often slip our minds.
If you want to remind yourself of an appointment this works great as I can simply send an SMS reminder to myself.
I tested the SMS reminder service and was quite impressed with it. It does support a huge list of mobile services from all over the world that is quite impressive.

Twitter widget for Opera browser

Posted: 27 Nov 2009 04:42 AM PST

The Opera browser is one of my favorite ones. I started using it many years ago and even though now I end up using Chrome and Firefox a lot more, I still do use Opera quite a bit. So it was nice to know about a Twitter widget which is available with Opera.

Twitter Widget on Opera

If you want to install the widget you just need to visit the widgets page for Opera.
Once on it you can download or install the Twitter widget. Do make sure JScript is enabled on Opera.
Sign into Twitter from the widget and you are good to go.
A great feature of the Twitter Widget was that even when I closed my Opera browser the widget still worked like a stand alone application. This works only if you are using the Opera 10.2 version.

Is it any good?

I found it not all that different from most of the desktop clients available for using Twitter. The widget seemed to be ideal for people who use Twitter moderately and end up sending a few tweets every day. It surely is not a worthy replacement of many popular Twitter applications like TweetDeck as it does not still support Twitter Lists. That is the main drawback of this widget as because it does not support Lists, following incoming tweets gets a little difficult.

This widget is still in testing and hence might have some bugs. But I did not have any issues for a couple of hours I used the widget. Download the Opera browser from their website and the widget from here.
