cc:to me

October 12, 2011

CC:to me is one of those bookmarklets that "makes my head hurt"; there are so many things practitioners and their learners can do with it.

Why wasn't an idea as simple as this implemented earlier.

As its name suggests, it allows users to...

- email stuff to themselves via a bookmarklet;

- drag and drop text, images, videos and more from the web onto it;

cc:to me then emails them all flawlessly along with the link.

Currently free (sign up needed); pro accounts (coming soon) will bring goodies like multiple recipients (ideal for collaborative work) and more.
