Reminder Bear's Purpose
The internet moves fast and most of us never stick around to see the conclusion. Reminder Bear is the solution to this problem.
We make it easy to get the updates you want. Just hit the bookmarklet and forget about it until you see the reminder in your email inbox.
Reminder Bear's short-term bookmarks are more like bookmarks in the real world -- temporary place-holders that let you go back to the page once, then move on to new stuff (those things that your browser calls bookmarks are the notes in the margin).
Things to use it for
- Skip the hassle of creating an account just so you can get updates on a single comment or forum thread.
- "Bear before you buy"! See if that must-have new device is still must-have after a week.
- Replace Discus notifications. Get one email from Reminder Bear instead of one email per reply from Discus.
- See if that YouTube video you liked went viral.
- Find out how much someone over-payed for that odd item on ebay.
Things not to use it for
- Real-time updates. Reminder Bear wants to get you to the page after all the updates have come in. You'll be able to survey the carnage after the riot is over, but you won't get to turn over any cars yourself.
