I wish my web browser let me schedule reminders. For example, I might be reading about something that I'd like to check back on in a week. It would be nice if the browser would let me schedule a reminder for a week from now, and remember the url. Then, a week later, it'd pop up a reminder. Bonus features would be if it cached the page ahead of time so that it was all ready to go, and if it let me add a description as to why I wanted to be reminded about the page in the first place.
This kind of thing will get more useful over time, as more and more things become web accessible.

Hmmmm....Now I want to write one dammit. I've been using Firefox of late but I've never wriiten a plug in for it. IE I know way too well, but try to hide this knowledge in mixed company.
