 * Nudgeme || send yourself an email for a specific time ||
 * Kukuklok || **"**For those who sit on their PCs/Laptops for a long time and surf a lot, this is a useful tool. Often what happens while on the net is that we forget how much time we are devoting to a particular task/site. With this simple online Clock, one can set time for a task and decide when and in what voice you want to be reminded to move to the next task.Though it is very simple clock, its simplicity is its advantage. I love the voice of the Cuckerel to get a reminder. Check out many other voice options." ||
 * Toggl || Keep track of the time you spend on specific items. ||
 * Rescue time || must be downloaded but tracks the time you spend on pages and can also block pages (3 options). ||
 * Tom's Planner ||  ||
 * Nozbe ||  ||
 * = iCal || With iCal, you can create calendars and set reminders for yourself. The built in template is a big calendar with shows the information you insert onto it. It is a good template for the goal. You can create separate calendars based on different events which is helpful . iCal is intended to help people remember what they need to do in their lives and to plan their lives for the future. I like that it is a simple way to keep track of upcoming events. I dislike that there is no feature to have it email reminders to you and you cannot add pictures to it. iCal is helpful in class as it can be used to plan assignments and be used as a back-up planner.

I cal is a great application for creating plans or just your own personal calendar. For a plan, you could say what needs to be done and when and then label the date that needs to be labeled. For a personal calendar, you can put events or homework that is due on certain days. ||
 * = Google Calendar ||< This will let you have a online calendar by Google you just have to start a Google account. It may help you keep your life on track. It's free to start a Google account. ||

 * = [|Free Calendars] || This is a really cool application because you can make your own calenders and it is really organised ||
 * [|CalendarFly] || Calendar Fly is a good and organized application. It lets you make a calendar which you can share with others. I would use this for maybe if I have a lot of work I could just log on and make a virtual to do list. I'm not one who works on calendars but for some people this could be really helpful. I think this is a lot like iCal. iCal is easier to access but it's only for apple computers and since I don't have one at home, iCal doesn't work for me. With this you can share with others which is useful for group activities. I think overall it works well is easy to use and I would defiantly use it if I used calendars daily.

I agree with what the person above said, but creating an account requires a lot of personal information. The application asks you to put in your e-mail address, your e-mail addresses password, you first nane, last name, along with your address, city, state, country and time-zone. It's a good application, but signing up could be dangerous. ||
 * Yahoo! Calendar ||  ||
 * [|Online Timelines] || Online Timelines is a very good website for creating timelines - it's pretty much the only thing you can do with it! There are no templates, but there are some very useful tools. The first, located on a sidebar on the right-hand side of the page, it the Help button. When clicked, a window pops up that explains how to use the website. The next, which is just below the Help button is the Print button, which shows all print options, sizes, and layouts (horizontal/vertical timeline). Above both of those is the option Edit. It includes Labels, Entries, Insert, and Order. Labels is to change the title and author, Entries is to edit the entries for each point on the timeline, Insert is to add an entry at a certain place, and Order is to arrange the entries. It definitely does what is supposed to, but I dislike its plainness: there are no colors, fonts, or anything intersesting. However, I enjoy the fact that it is clear, concise, and academic. This could be used in Humanities for the topic we're working on now (dates during the slave trade). ||
