Facebook personal planner | remember those appointments

Noel O'Reilly

Here's something that's a real sign of the times. If you've been following the stories about the social networking website Facebook you'll know that people use it to stay in touch with friends and contacts and make new ones.

Now someone in the marketing team at health cash plan firm HSA has latched onto this new-fangled interweb thingy and is launching a so-called health and lifestyle reminder service, the ‘HSA Personal Planner’. You can install this onto your unique profile and also download it onto your computer desktop. The idea is it then reminds you when you've got a 'lifestyle appointment' such as a dental appointment or a friend’s birthday. It also provides daily health tips and ‘Doctor, Doctor’ jokes. Yippee.

Personally I know when it's time to go to the dentist because I hear a crunching sound and discover one of my teeth has found its way into my peanut butter sandwich.

To install HSA Personal Planner either use the search engine on Facebook to find it or visit Sleeviebook, and download from there. I'm not getting a fee for writing this by the way.

While we're on the subject, I need more Facebook friends to make me look well connected so get prodding or whatever it's called now. It could be the start of a virtual relationship. Dirty Den need not apply.
