Everything, Everywhere, All The Time

The web is a blessing and a curse: there is simply too much information. And it?s coming at us too quickly. Meanwhile, the tools we have to process the data flow are failing miserably, and yet, very few people are building us better ones. Instead, these days, it?s far easier to build the next great photo-sharing app than it is a better Gmail. It?s more fun to build a new social network for taking pictures of food than it is a tool that tells us exactly what we missed when we went offline for an hour. And no one, and I mean no one, is building a better RSS reader for a niche audience of serious news consumers. Where are the magical email auto-responders that answer, tag and organize emails for us? Where are the intelligent calendars that integrate with messaging systems (social, email and otherwise), capable of reading text-based communications and turning them appointments and meetings? Where are the automaters, the filters, the noise reducers? Where?s the Siri for everything? Let?s start with email. As a tech bloggers, we tend to get a lot of email. But the email overload situation is not unique to this industry. It?s become such a common complaint that they now hold entire?conferences?devoted to the issue. There are some tools to help deal with the flow, or at the very least,?allow us to step away from the inbox for a minute?without completely losing track.
