You can use RSS feeds -> to TwitterFeed -> to Sandy, though TwitterFeed only updates every 30 minutes at the most.

I use this to do ReQall, though you could add your flight updates, ebay updates, etc that way.

Alysson, thanks for the referral to pageonce. Nice service.

It seems that pageonce is a service that aggregates data from all your online accounts. It's a type of "start page". It lets you monitor the goings on of your other accounts from one place. (You don't have to sign in and visit the homepage of each individual service where you have an account.)

I can see that pageonce can pull data into it, and then display it to you. It also offers some widgets on the web page that allow you to interact with your various accounts without logging in. But does it require your involvement? Do I have to sit at my computer and interact with pageonce, or can I set it up so that it does things automatically?

1) Can I set it up so that it will do something when a predefined events occurs? Can it at least notify me (by email, etc) when something happens? Can it monitor my plane flight status and email me if it's been delayed? Can it track a package and email me when it arrives? Can it send me an sms 5 minutes before by ebay auction is set to expire?

2) Can I issue commands to it by email? (or sms, twitter, Jott, etc) Can I tell it to email me a list of all my current ebay auctions, get a list of potential gifts at Amazon.com, check the price of a certain stock, get the status of that package that I'm expecting, etc. etc.

Got it figured out. You need a separate account for your private Sandy email address. Add yourself as a contact, and the Sandy reQall account as a contact on your own reQall. Then invite yourself from Sandy's account. Go back into your own account and accept the invitation.

Whew. That's quite a bit more complicated than it was with Jott! But it DOES work. Only thing is you'll get two daily agendas. I have one set to SMS and one set to email. They're identical; and this way my daily todos are everywhere (I also have RTM and Gmail Agenda/Gcal set up with Sandy). Since I am capable of looking straight at my calender and forgetting what it says an hour later, this is perfect for me! reQall will also poke me as frequently as I need it to do, although it pokes me with everything for the day until I go back in and mark things done.

There is a discussion going on right now on this topic of using reQall and Sandy. I did test today and got Dial2Do to talk to Sandy (YAY). But there are still some things I really want reQall to do anyhow.

The thread: http://preview.tinyurl.com/5n62xa

Pageonce does most (if not all) of that. It is also free & has an iPhone app. (Sorry Sandy!)

Hey Tracey, I think Dial2do can email Sandy. reQall seems good aswell though. But i dont think reQall can email your sandy's private email address. Dial2do can email, but i havent tested Dial2do much.

So i dont know. I wish
1) Jott was free to use with Sandy
2) It was finally released in the UK

I just sat down and figured out exactly what I need to do with various aps to meet my goals. I'm not going to continue using Jott because they don't have an appropriate package at a decent price. So that leaves me with either reQall or Dial2do, and so far reQall looks more like what I need. The one big thing is it looks like in order for me to be able to email Sandy (via voice) from reQall, Sandy has to agree to share. Not a big deal, I don't think, but how to do it?

HELP!

Rael, just to say that the reminder I mentioned at the top of this thread still hasn't arrived.

Hi Rael, The sluggishness part seems to have cleared up.I just requested a new copy of my daily digest from the website and it arrived in my inbox within a couple of minutes.

However, I am still having *severe* problems. Although I am receiving reminders that were created some time ago, no newly created reminders are being sent.

I have tested this out again this morning, creating several reminders via email. All of them appeared correctly on my home page, but the reminders (whether by email or sms) were never sent.

I think Sandy is brilliant, but this is really undermining my confidence in it at the moment.

Hi again, folks. I still don't see anything in the way of sluggishness. Please feel free to open this back up again if you're still experiencing issues. —Rael

Hi Sandyster! I just tried the same thing and it works just fine for me. Can you give it another whirl and if Sandy still does the same thing, please can you forward the email you sent to her on to help@iwantsandy.com (add "Attn: Rael" to the subject line please) and I'll be glad to take a gander. —R – Rael Dornfest, on May 26, 2008 20:20

Hi Tevor!

I just gave this a whirl and received a reminder I set exactly on time.

Is this by chance a recurring reminder (daily or weekly)?

Rael

I am having problems today as well, I cannot delete to-dos via email, Sandy response says deleted but if I look them up, they are still there.
