 Badaboom, badabing, Kippt’s a beautiful thing!

Computers are great for finding reading-material when you should be working, and Ipads are great for reading material when you are on the train. But with your boss looking over your shoulder, how should you go about quickly saving that article from Slashdot to savor on a mobile during a bathroom break?

With Kippt, you are freed from the shackles of self-e-mailed links. Kippt guillotines the Gmail middle-man, allowing you to instantaneously share text or links between your devices. With the bookmarklet, you can simply highlight text, click the button on your browser, and the current page’s URL and your highlighted text will be saved to your Kippt account! Voila!

But, if you really want Gmail to be involved somehow, you can still use it, (or Facebook or Twitter), to sign into this gem of a webapp.

Kippt also lets you spread the content-love to Twitter, Delicious, and Facebook. Just look to the arrow on the right of a snippet you have Kippt.

Have you ever told your significant other to remind you of something? Then they say sure, as long as you remind me to remind you? Then eventually you mention a recursive loop to your spouse, which they quickly Google, which doesn’t seem to help, and you both end up forgetting what needs reminding?

Yeah, I thought so. Statistics prove that 87% of marriages are based primarily on reminding someone to remind you of something. With the advent of Ductmail, you can now be single, and happily go back to playing WoW and eating Cheez Whiz on crackers.

Just do this: send an e-mail, from any e-mail address, to reminder@ductmail.com with the subject line being some sort of time, like “Today at 6pm” or “Next Saturday at 5am” and what it is that you need to be reminded of in the body. It will fire you off an e-mail at that time. Its that easy. It really is.
