This niffty service is called as sendible. I discovered it when I was stumbling using stumbleupon. Stumbleupon deserves another day for a great blog post and to the extent it is under rated as a service. Right now the service that I am going to try and enlighten you with is called as sendible. Still in beta this service has a great potential to become your one spot hub for all the scheduling and organizing related needs.

I always feel that any great service when blogged about deserves the description as it is from it’s home page/authors/webmasters. So although it might look that I am scraping; my intention is to emphasis about the site in a manner which is "right from the horse’s mouth". And hence following is what the site owners have to say about the site:

Sendible is a free tool you can use to…

• send messages to your friends, customers or colleagues in the future
• schedule reminders for things you might forget
• organise and manage your contacts
• jot down notes and have them sent at a time you choose
• schedule appointment reminders for your customers
• subscribe to content that interests you most and choose how to receive it

The above description I’d say would be the feature offered to a user of sendible. However, all good things in this world cannot be free and hence this service comes with some advertising. Following is what the service promises to offer to it’s advertisers:

Sendible allows you to create targeted ads that will appear in the messages that our users are sending. Your ads will appear in Email, SMS, Facebook and other social messages that people are sending to:

• Their friends
• Their colleagues
• Their customers
• Their loved ones

Before we get into the details I’d suggest that you sign-up with the service and check for yourself. Although  it’s in Beta stage, it’s still open for anyone to sign-up free of cost. No invite or waiting list is required.

Let’s now take a look at the interface and what features are available with this service to evaluate it and understand it’s potential. The following is a snapshot of it’s home page. I have marked important areas/sections with arrows and have put in my comments for User-Interface where ever required. I feel a picture can talk louder than 1000 words so I try to incorporate my comments in the picture.

I tested the service and it’s pretty accurate when it comes to sending sms/email and updating Twitter and facebook on a specified time. This means that I can schedule a twitter to be posted in the year 2009 at this very moment. I think it defeats the purpose of having a great service like twitter. However, you are the discretionary authority on this.

Following are the service which are supported right now for scheduling:

• Email
• SMS
• Facebook
• Myspace
• Friendster
• Hi5
• Orkut

You can also schedule yourself to receive sms for important Birthdays and dates. I am sure with right kind of business model (it looks formidable as it integrates users and advertisers) this service is here to stay for long. Does it alos makes a good case for Google to acquire it and use it’s creepy datamining to predict the future actions of it’s users and hence come out with an amazingly exciting ad-revenue model. Just a thought! Have your say by commenting on it.
