I love it when simplicity runs headlong into handy and Jubbly does just that.
That’s why I wanted to let you know about this free service because it’s one of those “desert island” sort of tools in the “if you could only have one tool to remind you of things” category.

From the Jubb.ly site itself:

Jubbly is a reminder service that will perform a function a few minutes before the time you specify. Just like Twitter, Jubbly accepts 140 characters. On the date you need reminding, Jubbly will Direct Message your Twitter account or send you an email.

Well, it’s true. It’s clean, it’s simple, it requires no sign up, no request to add all your private contacts to some spammy mail service, no log in – nuthin. It just does what it does and does it well and all it asks in return is if you want those private, direct messages from Twitter sent to you you need to follow @jubb_ly – which is a requirement of Twitter itself (that’s how private messages are sent).

Seriously, just visit the site, set up a reminder to pick up milk, roll the garbage and totes out to the curb on recycling day, whatever. You’ll appreciate this little gem.
