Snooze Button for email Every blogger knows that the best way to generate comments is to reply to comments. Smart bloggers know to reply to comments in their comment section, rather than via a private email. Not only does this encourage a repeat visit — particularly if you’ve installed a plug-in that lets users subscribe to comments — but it demonstrates to other potential commenters that you’re interested, interactive and engaged.

But let’s face it, sometimes those comments hit your InBox when you’re just too busy to reply. What then?

Then, my friends, you use Hit Me Later which acts like a snooze button for your InBox. All you have to do is forward the comment to X@hitmelater.com, replacing X with the number of hours — or the day of the week — when you want that comment sent back to you. Voila, it goes away and returns at a time of your choosing.

So let’s say you’re sitting at your computer at 1 o’clock in the afternoon but really prefer to start your mornings around 7 a.m. by replying to commenters while your creative juices awaken? Forward the day’s comments to 18@hitmelater.com and you’ll clean up your InBox for that afternoon while scheduling your replies to suit your morning mail routine. The service is free, there’s no registration required, and both your email address and the original senders remain private.

Gawd, I just lurves the internet.
