Roundup : Todoist, iReader, cl1p, workhack, DoodleBoard, LinkedWords, Jubii
Todoist - how many to-do services can there be
iReader - via a browser extension browse the content of a link before choosing to clicking it…I wish Snap Preview had this option.
Snap Preview has an icon option, to get a thumbnail just hover over the icon next to the link…problem is that this doesn’t limit to links just within blog posts, blog sidebars are littered with these icons, wherever there is a link there is an icon. How do we get Snap Preview to avoid the sidebar links.
cl1p - copy and pasting content to a web clipboard…new feature is instant message board. Now they need instant chat room like Conversate or what ChatCreator once was (not it is a blog chat widget).
workhack - the most easy to-do list ever, no sign up just start. Items are big and chucky, for each item mark high, mediuim or low, and click done when completed, also see list with done items included. Dar and drop, and bookmark your to-do list in your favourites and try the mini version. Feeds are included. I wish I could re-edit items and change urgency.
DoodleBoard - collaborative drawing with chat.
LinkedWords - similar idea to Technorati Tags, only Linked Words is not a flat based index but more taxonomy based. If you want you blog post to appear under a keyword page at LinkedWords just look for the page and include your post, or create a new keyword page if it doesn’t exist (BTW, it doesn’t have to be keyword pages, create phrase or even sentence pages). I’d rather bookmark my posts at del.icio.us or Technorati Tags or submit them to Digg (not that I do this), as these sites are popular.
One thing I do like is that for every keyword they offer more discovery like similar pages, similar categories and contextual path related categories.
Jubii - like all email clients (Jubii is webmail) the idea is to extend this workspace into a PIM (Personal Information Management) space. Jubii is email with VOIP, IM…these are the 3 usual communication channels.
But hasn’t Google go this covered, I guess Jubii’s 10 GB is attractive.
Another feature is that it can host any type of file, and you can share these files with your contacts list, even share your inbox. Like other email or PIM services I guess to-do, calendar, tasks, notes are next to be added.
Wasn’t Haystack meant to be the personal dashboard of the future.
NOTE: Gmail and Gtalk are integrated, what about adding Google Calendar, Google Docs and Spreadsheets, and Google Notebook as an email based PIM system…I guess that’s what Google Startpage is for, but I think email has, and always will be the startpage

Johnt,
Re: Snap Preview Anywhere. It is certainly possible to specify what areas you want links to be Snap-enabled and/or attributed with an icon. It just takes a little more editing of your templates. Check out the Snap Preview Anywhere FAQ and send an email to spacustomerservice[at]snap[dot]com if you need further assistance.
Cheers.

hi guys,
LinkedWords, aside everything else, is also providing an option for you to do contextual links to/from your blog, something neither Technorati Tags nor del.icio.us nor Digg do
Cheers!

Not really sure what contextual links means, how is LinkedWords different to Technorati Tags?
Comment by Johnt — February 28, 2007 @ 2:34 am
linkedWords is all about linking words within your text, so called contextual links (in-text links, context links, etc.), getting them listed on LinkedWords, which later connects your site, blog or forum posting to other web sites and content areas with the same context, I do not see Technorati Tags to be even close to what LinkedWords does, anyway…
nice post
