Why doesn't it get seen for 6 hours?

Many people don't check their email regularly. I only check my personal email once a day in the evening. If I'm busy or on vacation it can often go several days between me checking my email.

That being said, I agree that I don't see what this adds. I already have email, SMS and phone calls. If you need an answer within a couple of days, email me. If you need an answer within a couple hours, text me. If you need an answer within a couple of minutes, call me. I don't really see where something else can fit in.

It takes away the hassle of remembering to do things. If you call me at 3pm asking me to put the oven on at 4pm, either I 'm busy working and forget or you have to call me at 3:50pm to remind me again. Por Favor automates the reminder step.
