Task.fm: Free SMS and Email Reminders
The web is now full of helpful reminder systems. I like Task.fm because you can write the way you speak and it converts your note into a smart reminder, such as if you tell it to remind you about “my meeting with Scott Thursday at noon.” You can set reminders to come to you via text, email, twitter or a phone call.
The basic level is free, and the deluxe is less than $4 a month.
Want another reminder system? Try my old favorite, Jott.

Jott.com: No More Texting and Driving

in Beth Favorite, Low-Cost, Mac, PC, Worth Paying For
Come on… be honest. Some of you still text and drive, right? Jott.com is the solution. Just dial a number on your phone, and a chipper voice asks, “Who do you want to Jott?” Say the name of a contact (or yourself), and Jott will take your message and convert it to text, plus attach the audio for the recipient’s listening pleasure. One of the attendees to my presentation called it “automated nagging.”
Jott has been one of my Beth Favorites for a couple of years now. It used to be free, which was crazy, and now they charge a very reasonable $3.95 a month for their most basic service. Well worth it. It integrates with all kinds of things — social media, great to-do list services, etc. Love it.

Poll Everywhere: Free Audience Response System
Monday I’m speaking for the Western Association of Chamber Executives, and during our webinar dress rehearsal, the coordinators told me about Poll Everywhere.
Poll Everywhere is a free/low-cost replacement for the very expensive audience polling devices. Instead of handing out devices that connect to a man behind the curtain who creates a chart of results for the audience to see, a speaker can ask the audience to text their choice of responses from a poll he’s displaying, and the results are instantly communicated to a dynamic PowerPoint slide he can show. The system integrates with Twitter, and people can vote from the web as well.
It’s free for up to 30 responses, and darn cheap after that. Plus there’s no long-term commitment, so you can go to the highest level for a one-time event then go back to a free account.
