New Nagging Service: HassleMe
Posted under Motivation
HassleMe is a new service where you enter a task you are putting off and it "hassles" you with repeated emails at "semi-unpredictable intervals".
If you find yourself motivated by email reminders this might just be your ticket to a life of ease and getting things done. Simply, enter the number of days you want to be nagged and what you want to be nagged about to get the ball rolling. One flaw I spotted though. You can apparently "hassle" your friends and co-workers with messages. So it’s likely it will eventually be used by the same element who abuse blog trackbacks. So HassleMe might get filtered soon.

To clarify the comment above re: filtering - you can enter multiple email addresses, but each address is sent an individual email asking them to confirm that they want to be hassled. Several thousand users, and no complaints yet, so I guess it’s working!
Ok, cool.. Just one of the things that stuck out to me. Thought it might damage your system.
