URL to Email Inbox

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.

Online Teamwork Made Simple

Sometimes I think everything needed has been created — that there is nothing truly essential that people need to make. Then I bump into something so elegant and useful that it takes me aback. That’s how I felt when I saw Trello.

Simple. Focused. Visual. Drag and drop easy. This is an elegant solution to hundreds of collaborative needs from planning a wedding to building a new clubhouse for the neighborhood. Brought to you by Fog Creek, makers of the famous Fog Bugz software.
