Digital Work-tool Aggregator By Ryan P. on January 16th, 2008
A while ago I read an interesting article which said the average 21st century individual is exposed to more information in one day than an average 18th century individual was in his entire lifetime. While I don’t know how true that piece of statistic is, I only have to take a look at Sarika to know that she’ll beat entire nations (18th century of course) in information overloading.
Given that she has 12 tabs open at any given point (not to mention I make it worse by sending her more links) Sarika’s probably more eager for the customizable workpage to be launched than Rehan himself. Hopefully then, she’ll stop scrolling through her numerous tabs and muttering to herself (which, considering I sit at the next bay, is a little spooky).
If you’ve been enjoying our numerous feeds from the feed directory, be sure to drop a line to Kris who’s worked really hard on it. I’m sure you should find the most popular feeds in the directory. Otherwise, you always have the option of adding your own feeds onto your workpage. Kris has also spent time figuring out the most popular feeds for each state which is what you see as default widgets when you log in for the first time. The flip side however, is his facebook status “I’m feed-up”
What Sarika and I are impatiently waiting for is the time when we can finally add more stuff. Rehan dubbed this “use-cases” and has a whole list of things neatly listed out. The development team has promised to meet cases 1 and 2 by Jan 30th. The use-cases are basically addition of widgets independent of user data. Which means apart from checking feeds, you will also be able to do a variety of tasks such as track packages, make your sticky notes,play games and message the world.
We are eagerly looking forward to this because it means we finally get started on what we want Remindo to be — a “digital work-tool aggregator”.
