This Is Your Brain on Technology!

Did you ever call yourself at home and leave a message on your answering machine to remind yourself of a deadline or something you want to remember to do? At one time or another, most of us have called our voicemail or answering machines to record a quick thought, idea, or reminder (e.g., "Don't forget, tomorrow is Hawaiian shirt day.)

With BrainCast, you dial a toll-free number, wait for the beep, and leave your message. Later, you can retrieve your messages online; the service sends you an e-mail notification so you don't forget.This is great for anyone who wants to archive, organize, and share these kinds of recordings. You can add notes and tags to your recordings and e-mail them to others. However, you're limited to calling from three different phone numbers (ostensibly home, the office, and your cell). Still, this free service could definitely come in handy.

(You youngsters can put this away for future reference.)

If you try it, click on SEND ME A VOICEMAIL in the right hand column of this page (or the hotlink in this article) and let me know how you like it! Another great, FREE service--this one from odeo.
