That's where primitive speakers on my motherboard become useful. They can produce only simple tones and they are relatively loud. I use "windows scheduler" to run some old (squiky) MSDOS program. :) I use headphones, and cannot rely on classical sound system.

The airport never knows about my flights untill 45 min or so before takeoff, and you're still in bed to get the update from the internet? sheesh - those plains flying over you're house all night must be why you have trouble getting up in the morning, you must be sleeping on the runway If by the time the internet knows that your flight is delayed, you’re still in bed – you need to get up earlier!

I hadn't heard of your site until Mysticgeek told me about it today, but it looks quite useful. As far as I'm concerned, anything that can help me wake up is worth trying out =) @Ryan

Kukuklok has very nice design and sounds! Cheers to it's creator! Were a little different as we want to wake and inform you to brief information that helps u sleep more (flight, meeting, exam, schools canceled/delayed) to info that helps you prepare for the day like weather or just waking up to happy birthday wishes. A smart/social alarm clock ... I guess you could say Time will tell if people want to hear this type of wake up info or centuries of waking up to meaningless noise is what we are accustomed to and not interested in changing such. We are hopeful of the former :) Cheers, Ryan Spahn http://Sleep.FM "Sleep in, your flight is delayed!" - Sleep.FM Hi

I do like sleep.fm more because of time, day, or weather announcements. That's pretty slick...still not as good as mine though because I can pick what mp3 I want or even youtube video if I so desired even though I don't. As soon as sleep.fm gives ability to upload or even direct link to a online or preferably a local mp3 then it will be the best option for my tastes. Its so close but still so far. sleep.fm is very nice…looks better than kuku as well but again they both have the same problem with not having real control over what wakes you up…still proprietary sounds.

That's why I usually put "at website.com" in the featured links, so you know where the final destination is supposed to end up. @Spacegold
