While gathering background information about OnlineHomeBase.com _ a free web service that lets you store research notes and reminders for meetings or appointments _ I stumbled across the following:
"On March 1, 1999, someone in Thailand sent me an email telling me that the Bangkok Post had written a little review about my program, making it their `Web Site of the Week.' Boy, was I thrilled (and thankful to the writer, Tony Waltham, whom I had never had contact with before).

"From there things just kept happening: having grown ever more excited about my little baby . . . I started looking for a name. Most suitable domains, like "quickscan.com" were taken, but then I found "quickbrowse.com".

Well, I cannot guarantee that our mention of OnlineHomeBase.com this week will enable the site to gain the same recognition for its owner, former journalist Marc Fest, as Quickbrowse did four years ago.

But I can heartily recommend that you visit this free web site, register and try out its personal organiser features that offer a clean user interface with what is essentially a simple notepad sheet. There is a calendar and you can quickly set up email reminders, while you can collaborate with others or use this web resource for a globally-accessible collection of bookmarks. _ Tony Waltham
