I am going to bet that you know what the application “Outlook on the Desktop” does without me even having to describe a single byte of it. Congratulations; You win. Good day sir, ma’am.

You might be able to guess the app’s overall purpose, but I think you’ll be even more interested once you actually get the nitty-gritty of what it does. Let’s hit the big question first, though. Why would you even want to slap a widget-like implementation of Microsoft Outlook on your desktop to begin with?

Here’s my answer. I love Outlook on the Desktop for two main reasons: I like staring at my desktop as much as possible (especially during that half-hour in the morning when coffee is beginning to work its magical effects on my tired brain), and I like being able to quickly glance at my calendar while I’m in the process of doing other things.

Quick.  A project just came on your radar, but you've got a lot on your plate already.  You don't want to forget about a key fact or detail of what you have to do, but it's almost closing time.  Or maybe you're just lazy and don't have any of those yellow sticky notes nearby to write down the details.  Or maybe you just don't feel like logging on to your Google Calendar to create yet another reminder of whatever it is you have to accomplish.

Lots of possible scenarios, one awesome solution.  This week's featured Web app is the ultimate reminder tool for any little fact or meeting time that you need to keep on your radar.  It's extremely simple to use--in fact, it would probably take you less time to schedule yourself a little task update using this tool than it would any other software application there is, period.  It's even faster to access than Notepad.

The name of the app is (appropriately enough) Remindr.  Don't schedule the reading of this post for later.  Click the jump right now and I'll give you a quick look at what this awesome Web app actually does!
