An easy way to create an electronic Tickler file is by using Google Calendar, which can send you email, SMS, and “pop-up” reminders (which act as alerts when you sync with the iPhone Calendar), for any and all events you want. But what about stuff that you don’t really want to see cluttering up your [...]

I’d prefer just Amplifeed without the last syllable, but who am I to nitpick? Something that is not a nitpick, though, is that Amplifeeder (basically a good-looking, self-hosted lifestreamm [...]
