Because of a lot of the tech blogs I like to read, I end up signing up for lots of closed betas by putting my email addy on the waiting list. Then later, I get an email with the actual invite, and I’ve forgotten what I found so compelling about the thing in the first place.

But that’s probably another story entirely. I have found some great tools by participating in these betas, as long as I can remember not to become too dependent on them. Otherwise when they disappear or start actually charging (eek!), I’m SOL.

However, this looks useful. I’ll be checking this out further. Via TechCrunch.

And on an entirely unrelated matter, this looks like a great tool if you have a favorite author or just want to see when various authors are touring your area. Via Mashable.
