I'd much rather use a browser plugin, a la Rapportive. Anyone know of such a service?
Boomerang Gmail for Google Chrome/Gmail is great (but a bit pricey).
I do understand that if you're using this for personal communications, that might feel pricey.
I love the idea (and simplicity of it) but isn't this basically forwarding each scheduled message to follow up service? Seems like a little too much trust involved for me.

I totally agree with you. As a small business I would not want to share those types of messages with a third party especially when they have no monetization strategy defined on their web site. I don't want my customers ending up with better "offers" from my competitors in the next 6 months. Maybe I am too cautious and paranoid, but to me using a local system seems the only sane way to address the follow up reminder n…
You put who you want to call and when into the system and sometime during the day we call you and connect you to them. They see your caller id and everything. Right now all you can do is take it for a spin with the free trial, but soon I'll have the full product up and running.
While I'm sure the various "follow up" services are great (I'm a pretty big Boomerang Gmail fan myself), it's also incredibly easy to roll your own solution to this problem using gmail filters. When sending a message that needs a followup, BCC yourself - something like myname+followup@gmail.com. Then setup a filter that labels/stars/etc all messages to myname+followup, and you'll have a nice queue of messages that ne…

The developer claims that it takes only 5 minutes to set up, and you can get a micro AWS instance for free. Then you control all the data, and you don't have to pay.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

If security is a big concern and you like the MSDOS-in-the-cc-field interface for this sort of thing (I like a menu, datepicker, and natural language input, but I'm obviously biased!), check out http://www.bumper.cc . It's an open-source replacement for FollowUpThen, FollowUpCC, NudgeMail, Laytr, HitMeLater, etc. The developer claims that it takes only 5 minutes to set up, and you can get a micro AWS instance for fre…
