Emails have completely transformed the way communication is done these days. The usage of emails has become so far and wide that it can easily be called a necessary evil. Most of us don’t even realize the amount of time and effort we spend in filtering useful and business related mails from that huge stack of spam messages, junk and unimportant mails. The worst situation is when you unknowingly suffer from that strange and now very common behavioral trait of compulsive inbox checking after every few minutes. If this habit goes unchecked, you inbox will soon invade into your private space.
AwayFind is the latest web application which helps you escape the onslaught of annoying “email-overload” while notifying you of all the urgent mails which require your immediate time and attention. The website offers an effective and smart solution by acting like your round-the-clock email watchdog.

Have an opinion, shout out the answer and want others’ opinion, feel free to ask a question. That’s the purpose behind this on-line application known as ‘Urtak‘. Linguistically, it’s an Icelandic word meaning “statistical sample”. This word has been borrowed by the developers of this web based tool because ‘every Urtak is a sample of what a community thinks‘.
Urtak enables one to crate his/her own personal poll and seek answers to his/her questions from the people of their respective communities. One can also participate in a poll created by others by answering their question.
The questions are to be answered in 3 options- Yes, No and Don’t Care( Of course, there are always other potential responses to even a yes or no question — not sure, no opinion, don’t know, skip, etc. But we think Don’t Care is the simplest. After all, either you care to answer a question, or you don’t.
