STARVING STUDENTS MOVING COMPANY DISCOVERS TICK TOCKER

Today, Starving Students Moving Company discovered a new online event notification feature called TickTocker. Users can create what is called a "tock", essentially an event that corresponds to a countdown clock with the ability to interact with other users through commentary and messages. "The brilliance of this feature is that people who are moving can watch the clock count down to their moving day. They know that there are 3 days, 22 minutes, and 15 seconds until Starving Students movers arrive. This can help them to manage time and prepare for the important reservation. It benefits us, because when we arrive, our valued customers are ready to go and we can get more efficient moves done in a timely manner. Plus it makes moving a lot more fun!" -- Starving Students Executive.

You can create a "Tock" that will count down to an event for you such as your moving day, down to the second. So you can set up a tock for your move date and then check in to see how many days are left. Or you can import your events from Facebook and the corresponding tocks will be created. You'll also get an email when your tock is about to expire. Plus you can share your tock on Facebook or Twitter or you can put a widgit on your website or blog and the countdown will be displayed. And if you set your tock to "public", your friends, family, or co-workers can all log in and view your tock or "follow it". The advantage here is that they will know when you are moving, so that they can set up your going-away party! Or at least tell you that you'll be missed.

Starving Students created a tock for Halloween weekend. If you know anyone moving Halloween weekend, you can share this tock:
