Social sorting the e-mail overload

Another very interesting post I found at Greg’s site about the growing number of e-mails we are getting each day. Our inboxes seem a never-ending, poorly differentiated barrage, requiring laborious effort to manually skim, sort, and prioritize. But why? What about some sort of ranking software that helps us manage the information overload, just like […]

The Mobile Web with IM and RSS

John Battelle has a interesting post on mashing up RSS, IM, and Publishing Services. He thinks makebot could be a way for mobile users to gather the unstructured data they leverage every day (including email and RSS, in particular). For this, Makebot is using platforms (IM) and data structures (RSS) that already exist.
Battelle says the […]
