How about being able to schedule the call for a specific date and time? Let’s check out how easy it is to use this service....

10 Short URL Services Face Off!

Related Does this bug you as much as it bugs me? There are a ton of options out there, and most have something unique to offer.

Linux Eye-Candy

Related Who loves eye-candy? Don’t be afraid to raise your hand. When I started using Linux two years ago, that was what I expected.

I am talking about the Internet initiative to index and store websites as they were in the past. To some this may seem trivial or pointless, but to me this is awesome!
