Last week I posted about information overload and how we were being constantly bombed with content bits from all corners of the web (like Twitter, Facebook, RSS feeds, whatever else). Also last week, a lot of people started using (and blogging about) Friendfeed. Some people actually call it this year’s Twitter.
I’ve been using Friendfeed a bit myself and while I find it cute and somewhat useful - as you probably do, I like to know what my friends have been doing or working on -, it just isn’t helping. It’s became just another content stream where I am fed unfiltered information from people. Twitter was “hard” enough to keep track of on a busy day, but Friendfeed not only includes twitter updates, it also packs info collected from around 23 other services. Cute? Definitely. Helping? Heck no.
A couple of ideas
Filtering: Friendfeed needs filtering. If I already have Twitteriffic on, It makes sense to be able to filter out all...

A few years ago, not a lot of people used RSS, and those that did, didn’t really subscribe to that many feeds. We limited ourselves to a small set of sites and sources to keep up with because of the limited nature of the tools we used (browser bookmarks, and our memory for remembering URLs). We’re now at a time when the tools exist to help us not have to remember.
This could be you, right?
My RSS reader keeps track of hundreds of feeds for me, and I’ve grown used to...

I’ve been (and so has the rest of the team here ) pretty quiet during the last few months. Mostly because we were pretty busy working on Totspot ( blog ), which we launched with a group of really smart people . Totspot is a social publishing platform for parents and their kids. It’s a pretty niche market, but an exciting one too.
Totspot started out as client work and it became our single focus for months - definitely worth it, for several reasons. One: i...

Two years ago, Robert Scoble and Shel Israel documented in “Naked conversations” how blogs where changing businesses and their engagement with consumers. 2006 was in fact what you might call the year of the company blog. Companies left and right, big and small, opened blogs to engage in conversations with their costumers and fans. This brough the barrier of communication - previously assumed huge and unbreakable - down to waist height. Anyone with a little interest could get in touc...

This is not my typical post - be forewarned. It has little to do with entrepreneurship, innovation or technology. It is, though, about the “computer” in you - your brain. It’s Jill Bolte Taylor’s speech at this year’s TED, that was posted on their website a few days ago, that I just finished watching. Jill Taylor is a neuroscientist that experienced a stroke a few years ago and gets to tell the story.
Now, before the video itself. The way Dr. Jill Taylor describ...
