What is it? What does it do?
Have you ever forgotten and important meeting, birthday, anniversary or whatever?

Well now – is this the solution for you?Huh

You have the ability to use your voice, instant messaging, email, and/or test messaging to send yourself a reminder or note so that you do not forget something.

This program or memory tool makes it very easy to capture, retrieve and share that information that you need on a daily basis. You can get it anywhere and anytime!

There are two versions: Standard (free) and Pro ($25.00 per year)

Here is the Pro vs Standard comparison: http://www.reqall.com/about/compare_pro_standard

Facebook allows advertisers to use your picture

It is my opinion that we should expect that there are no absolutes in regards to safety and security…at all. With that in mind, the story about pictures in Facebook accounts being used for advertisements (Facebook now lets advertisers use your picture) doesn’t surprise me. As we’ve discussed many times, things are noted in “Terms of Service” and “End-User License Agreements” that people don’t read and/or understand.
To “opt out” of the Facebook ads:
go to Settings, then Account Settings…
on the My Account tab, in the Privacy section, choose “manage”…
go to News Feed and Wall, then the Facebook Ads tab…
and for Appearance in Facebook Ads, change it to “no one”.
