What can I send myself from the address bar?
Notes (text), Links to webpages, Pictures, and Tweets from the web. And pics from your desktop too. And have them sent to your email and/or cell phone via text message (SMS). All Without logging in to any site first.
Can I really send a picture from my IE/Firefox/Chrome/Safari address bar to my cell phone as an IMAGE?
Yes. As long as your mobile carrier supports emailing pictures (called MMS). We use this with Verizon all day long. If you have a problem receiving messages though please let us know and we will try to help you.
Is everything with futz.me done in the address bar of my browser?
Yes, and you don't have to log into Anything to make it work. Just past "futz.me/username " in front of whatever you'd like to send. Don't forget though, you need to make sure your receive preferences are correct (meaning, do you want your pictures emailed or text'ed, etc.)
How do I know if I will receive an email or text message for each thing I could possibly send?
Log in and configure it.
Is futz.me totally free?
Yes.
Why is this service free?
We're going to push ads on the webpages and inside the alerts you send yourself (without giving your information to Anyone). And Text Message ads are Only inside the alert you send....not separate messages.
Will you sell my personal information?
NO NEVER. We hate spam as much as you do. We aren't a marketing company, although we'd like to push some ads. We have another business (B2B) productivity tool called SalesPeriod we hope to push partially using a wide-adoption of futz.me, that's it. Nothing sinister. So...NO, we will not sell your personal information. We will put up ads, and maybe even ads based on sex or birthdate but never ever ever your personal information.
Explain the ads I see. Do advertisers ever get my personal information?
NO. See last question. All ads are standard web-ads and SMS ads (inside your alerts only, not separate messages). Nothing else. We really don't care who you are as long as you don't do anything illegal or break anything.
Do I need an "http://" in front of what I want to send?
No, and you don't need a "www" either. Just paste "futz.me/username " (that's futz.me-slash-your_username-SPACE) in front of anything you want to send yourself. That's it.
Does "https://" work with futz.me?
Yes. Just drop an "https://" in front of your futz.me alert like this: "https://futz.me/username ". Remember, when using standard http, you don't need to paste anything in front.
How are messages sent via text message to my phone?
This service is free so we are not using an SMS gateway at this time. We use your carrier's text (SMS) and picture (MMS) email addresses. We may implement an SMS gateway in the future, which will increase functionality but for now we send them the old fashioned way.
Do you send separate text message ads?
NO. We may include an ad banner or message inside your futz.me alert but we do not send separate text messages with ads. That would be dumb, but it's a topic of conversation so we'll note it.
What if I have a problem getting text messages?
We might have your carrier's email incorrect. Send us anything you'd like to implement. Send to help@futz.me. And if anyone figures out how to SMS using Google Voice let us know. We'll put it up.
Will I incur any charges from my cell phone provider to receive a text?
Remember, you can receive the "stuff" you send Either via email OR text message (SMS). So, If you are charged for SMS (text messages) by your provider, then yes. But you aren't charged anything by us AND...If you aren't charged for your text messages normally you probably have nothing to worry about. All we are doing (in the case of text message receipt) is sending you a standard text message. The beauty is that you can do it easily, from your browser....but it's just a text message.
What other cool things can I do with futz.me?
We are planning some neat stuff. Switches, formats, gateways, etc. Check out our Twitter page for now for updates. We'll make a changelog or something eventually but Twitter is pretty useful for update-type stuff at this stage.
