From Jeff Tomberg - founder of Oozbop:

Many people ask me why they should use Oozbop. You likely already receive reminders from programs like Outlook, Entourage or Gmail. Or maybe you use your smart phone to pop up reminders to you. These all work great when reminding you about something that's about to happen - your meeting starts in 15 minutes, your presentation is due tomorrow, etc.

I created Oozbop because I needed multiple reminders about certain events. You can read more about why I first built Oozbop by reading the history. Other reminder tools don't provide the full feature set of Oozbop and with it you have great flexibility around how you set up and receive your reminders. In fact, this flexibility is exactly why Oozbop is the only Reminder Management System currently available.

Here's a few of the features Oozbop provides that others don't - at least not packaged with everything else.

Personal Reminder Schedules - you can set up your own reminder schedule and receive single or multiple reminders for each event. Every reminder you set up can have the same, or completely different, reminder schedules. So if you want to receive reminders about your Mom's birthday 21 days, 14 days, 7 days, 3 days and on the day of her birthday, but you only want to receive a reminder for your friend's birthday 7 days before - no problem.

Reminder Methods - your reminders can be sent as email and/or text messages. Each event can have a different method of how you're reminded.

Reminder Times - you can pick the time of day that your reminder should be sent and that time can be different for each event and even for email and text message reminders for the same event.

Share Reminders - you can share reminders with family and friends so they get the same notification you do without having to create the reminder. Are you part of a group that gets together on a regular basis and you need a way to keep reminding everyone about the upcoming meetings? Or do you want to remind your friends about your birthday? Oozbop is the best way to do it.

Appointment Recurrence Engine™ - in Oozbop Gold you have access to Appointment and General reminders that can be used for almost anything. These include our powerful Appointment Recurrence Engine™ that allows you to have the event recur in almost any possible way. Do you have a meeting that happens on the second Monday of every fifth month? No problem with Oozbop.

Send an Automatic Message - for birthdays and anniversaries, you can set up Oozbop to automatically send a personalized message on the day of the event to the special person on your behalf.

View Upcoming Holiday Dates - have you ever needed to know the date of an upcoming holiday? On the Oozbop Holiday tab, you can quickly find the dates for all holidays within the next year.

Find Ages or Years - have you ever needed to know how old your mother is going to be or how many years your sister has been married? Once you enter a birthday or anniversary into Oozbop it tracks the years for you. At any time you can log in and find out that information without having to ask someone else.

There are other programs that can do some of these things for you, but there's no other program that does it all. That's why we call Oozbop the ultimate Reminder Management System. You have full control over how and when you receive your reminders. And best of all, you can start using Oozbop now for free.
