PRIZEY Sponsor: Sandy

PRIZEY posts for the week are brought to you by Sandy, the amazingly versatile new email-based assistant who can remind and inform you about just about anything going on in your life. Produced by values of n, Sandy collects information you share with "her" via cc's on emails you send to others, builds a schedule and to-do list for you, and can feed information back to you as scheduled reminders and responses to queries you pose. She's email and text-message friendly, and has skills to support everything from occasional reminders (cc Sandy on your lunch date email and ask her to remind you the morning of) to helping manage your day through your phone or email account (here's one example of a family of power users).

As with values of n's other project, Stikkit, Sandy is offered not only completely free of charge, but with all of the intuitive, ultra-simple commands you expect from a cutting-edge, easy-to-use online application, with everything from signup to core functions having clearly undergone intense scrutiny to make them so simple you can do them without reading the instructions. This is the future of the Internet - applications so easy to use, you'd be crazy not to give them a shot. Check it out at www.iwantsandy.com.
