The Daily Word 002

Contact list management should be better

I want something that intelligently cleans out my contact list.  Last night I was having dinner with my best friend, Laurent.  We both just got new iPhones and were comparing apps.  I pull up his address book and notice that it takes FOREVER to load.  Turns out, he’s got 6000 contacts.  Wow, I thought I had a lot with over 800.

The point, though, is that I know I don’t regularly communicate with 75% of those people.  In fact, I bet that I will NEVER contact close to 50% of those people.  The people that I regularly talk to probably make up about 5%.  I’d love to clear out my address book.  But it’s a chore, and, like all digital data, I’d hate to delete something just to figure out I really need it 6 months later.  I want to archive it, and I want to do this automatically and intelligently.

What I want is something like Xobni for my telephone contacts.  In fact, I want a service that analyses all of my outgoing communications (AIM, email, and telephone) and shows me how my personal network works.  Then I want it to optimize my contact lists so that I don’t have to scroll through 800 contacts to find my friend’s number.  It would be really easy to create an iPhone app that does something like this….

Giving stuff away: Update

As I wrote previously, we ordered a bunch of useless stuff to give away at the WWDC.  The memory sticks came right on time, but the pens came too late.  Total expense ~$1000.

Was it worth it?  Well, we hired two kick ass interns as a result (Dustin Bachrach and David Keck).  I’m not sure their decision to join us was based on the cool junk we give away as much as it was Jason and Chad’s charm and our admittedly kick ass product but the point is, the conference was an awesome opportunity to find great talent and we did.  Dustin and Dave kick ass and I’m really looking forward to having them work with us for a long time to come.

The Daily Word 001

I’m starting a video blog.  Gonna call it: The Daily Word.  Should be fun.

Pandora listens to its users

Wow, I’m seriously impressed by the folks at Pandora.  Yesterday I twittered that I really liked their iPhone app, today Pandora follows me on Twitter.  How awesome is that.  Identify the people that are talking about you and listen to them.  What a novel concept.

Evernote on iPhone is amazing

The Evernote app for iPhone OS 2.0 comes with a voice recorder.  It’s amazing.  Record voice notes, tag them, and they automatically get uploaded online and synced to your desktop.  So easy.
