birthdayalarm.com was started in 2001 by three people to provide a simple way for people to remember birthdays.
 
Such a simple but useful idea, particularly for those who are absolutely hopeless when it comes to remembering dates and times ie. me!
 
I only have one gripe with the service, and actually it has nothing to do with the website at all but the people who enter their birthdays and deliberately leave out one piece of useful info…
 
Gotta love people who don’t put in their year of birth. Scared people will know their age or something! Sucks when you’re trying to give them a birthday card… “Um… happy 50th (sorry, you didn’t specify the year of birth and I figured 50 sounded just about right)”.
