If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

With this new service created by four ex google employees, FriendFeed enables you to show your friends what you are up to over many different networks.

This service allows you to link all your accounts into one place. When you take action on one of your other web services, your feed will be updated linking to the action you took.

Many people are comparing this to the News Feed on facebook, but more open.

If you post a new blog, add a photo to flickr, upload a new video to vimeo, add a video to your favorites on youtube, scrobble a track on last.fm, or one of the other actions totaling at 23 services, it will be added to your feed.

This looks like a promising web service, one that I will use for sure.

I came across this cool service today while surfing the web.

The service is called Numbr, and it gives you a temporary phone number that will forward calls to your real number keeping your number secret and safe from reverse look-ups.

It also has a bunch of great features like:

• Adding multiple numbers so it will call the second if you don’t answer the first.
• Automatically block calls after 9pm.
• When someone calls you, it asks them for a intro statment, then it will play it to you and ask you if you accept. You have an option to turn that off.
• Email your incoming call history.
• Forward all calls to voice mail.

And all of this is available for free and in 3 simple steps. Just got to Numblr.com. Hit “Get your free number”. Type in your real phone number, and hit submit.

It even gives you a widget for you website or blog.

This service is very simular to the temparay email services like GuerrillaMail.

Have you ever wanted your own personal assistant? Ever wanted someone to remember birthdays and appointments then remind you when they come up?

Well let me introduce you to Sandy. Sandy is a virtual personal assistant, that I have found very useful. (and free :))

Lets say I want to tell her to remind me to call a friend tonight. I can just send her an email saying, “Remind me to call Jonathan tonight”, then around 8, I get an email reminding me.

She can also remember phone numbers.

Remember that Jonathans phone number is 8675309.

Another possible one is…

Remind me to update my twitter @daily

If you want to add something to your todo list…

Remind me to finish my homework @todo

And every day she will send you your daily digest, which is your todos and any things you have coming up that day.

Soon they will have a feature, which I really want, that will allow you ask her questions like, “What is Jonathan’s phone number?”.

In conclusion this is a website that has become a big part of my every day routine, and I suggest Sandy to anybody who needs a little extra help staying organized.
