Flapcast

http://flapcast.com/

This new approach to podcasts is billed as "Your podcasts. With syrup on top." The folks at Flapcast take a humorous and helpful approach to the wide, wide, world of podcasts. Their program allows users to place podcasts into the cloud for others to enjoy. Visitors are encouraged to use the program to discuss podcasts of note, and they can also search all of the podcasts uploaded to Flapcast. This version is compatible with all operating systems.

Textmotivate

https://www.textmotivate.com/

Looking for a bit more motivation? Why not try Textmotivate? The program allows users to receive brief text messages that will help remind them of upcoming goals. Visitors just need to sign up for an account, and they can tweak the settings to be reminded at certain intervals over a number of days, weeks, or months. The program has a few preloaded goals that many people might be interested in, such as quitting smoking, and users are encouraged to add their own. This version is compatible with all operating systems. [KMG]
