I hope my future self pays heed to my advice to collect those soda can tabs. With this concept, you can spam yourself and people who aren't even born yet.

It would be a lot more useful if I could E-Mail advice to myself in the past.

Dear Me: You see? The stuff that was giving you fits today really wasn't that important after all, was it?

He is adamant that FutureMe.org is not a reminder service and that users should think long-term.

Well, I was going to use it to remind me to pay my electric bill next week, but I guess that is out.

I guess I'll just send a message to myself in 2045 to remember to take my anti-Alzheimer's medication.

And what are the odds this FutureMe place will still be in business by next year?

What is their business model? How do they plan on making money?

Yahoo keeps trying to get me to send myself future emails. Haven't done it yet.

This ranks up there with the pet rock. I have an Outlook reminder that prompts me to remember to renew my driver's license every five years.
