The LC on the DL

This is a BzzAgent Review and is my honest opinion of the service posted. For more information about Web Bzz visit the link at the top of the sidebar.

I Want Sandy is a service that is designed to be your virtual office assistant on the internet and on the go. More than just to-do lists, I Want Sandy can keep track of your contacts, notes, calendar, important dates, and even shopping lists. While you can manage your data online through the website, I found that the site is clunky and hard to navigate. I Want Sandy excels at email and mobile communication integrating with SMS and Twitter. While I had no problem getting the service to work with Twitter, I never could get the authorization SMS to go through to my phone even though they have my provider listed.

Personally I Want Sandy was more complex than I needed and I have found other targeted services work better for managing my to-do list. With so many features it is difficult to get used to at first, but if you are looking for a robust free internet service to manage everything I Want Sandy is your dream assistant. For those like me that struggled to get used to the commands there is well laid out documentation and cheat sheets to get you on your way to organizing your day on the go.

I haven’t checked into BzzAgent (see below for more info on BzzAgent) for a while and thought I would update my info and see what opportunities were available while I was at it. Low and behold they had several sites in their queue that I am a member of and enjoy very much with 43 Things just being one of them. I have written up a few things about each one and will post them one at a time over the next few days.

43 Things is a productivity site geared towards personal goal making and achieving. The social side of the site allows you to not only see who else has your to-dos in common on their goal plans, but you can also give and receive encouragement towards your goals. My favorite part of 43 Things is the social aspect of it. Not only can you see who else has your goals in common but you can share and receive encouragement towards those things. Although I don’t use 43 Things to keep a common, every day to-do list, I do use it to list those things I need a little extra push to get done. If I have “organize my closet” on a list that is viewable by the public and people can see when I haven’t gotten around to it a year later, it is a tad bit embarrassing. Keeping these items on 43 Things not only makes you feel normal (there may be hundreds of others that have the same items on their goal list as you do) but the cheers I have received from absolute strangers for goals I have posted makes me feel like I have accomplished something when I get it done.

Feel free to look me up at 43 Things if you stop and visit! Of course, I go by linuxchic.
