If you use your email inbox to keep track of new internet finds, reading material and other to-do items, cc:to me will come in very handy.

I have been in the habit of sending myself an email when I have a link that I want to research or take a deeper look at. Yes, there are other tools like Read it Later that can be used for this. I make a somewhat careful distinction between read it “later”, however, and read it “someday.” The items that I put in my email inbox get acted on (and cleared!) within a day or two. Items that I want to read someday (a week, month, or year from now) I will put into Read it Later. The main difference is that my Inbox is in front of me daily. Other queuing tools have to be checked.

So… that’s a long preamble to say that this tool is for putting things in your Inbox and it does it with one click plus an optional description you can type in.
The website gives you a bookmarklet to install that, when clicked, sends the current browser URL to your email. Simple. Fast. Highly useful.

A we approach the big retail shopping season this year, my family was due for a TV upgrade. Decisions abound. What size? Go with 720p or 1080p resolution? The difference was at least $100 in the midrange. Plasma, LED or LCD? Do I need special connections to the internet? After I got past the overwhelming nature of the technology choices, then it was time to find the best price. This process alone can chew up hours in your week. ZingSale to the rescue!

Enter your item, set a price alert, and let ZingSale email you when the price of your item changes. They don’t cover everything (no foosball table today), but I have found most items that I wanted to track pretty easily. Huge time-saver if you are a deal shopper.
