Do they have alerts for when you are about to get an alert?
Just messing, after watching the screenshot of alerts.com from demogirl, there are some definitely great things about the application.
Before I sign up, does anyone know for the “birthday application” if you have to input all the information, or if it can pull from different sources of information ie. iCal, social networks that allow data portability, online calenders…etc?
Thanks in advance!
