web 2.0 meets personal information management

For the past few weeks we have been busy crafting this new app tentatively titled FoundIt!!

Bite-sized, healthy doses of your information, crafted yes, carefully crafted, for delightful & easy consumption, as & when you desire or need. We hope we have stirred up your appetite. Great, because we are counting on you to design this application with us. Just drop us an email at anjali[at]artbrush.net, letting us know you would like to participate in occasional user-testing of this exciting application. If you are in New York city, that's great coz we do hope to meet with some of you in person; but if you are not, that's fine too, & we could do this remotely. So if you are a moderate-heavy user of technology, and are frustrated with finding & keeping information findable, don't wait: send that email now.

Here's some more details about FoundIt:

• Imagine having easy access to all of your key personal files, as well as web-based information: easy at hand, ready to go. No more rummaging through endless digital folders & the deep & dark digital recesses of your bottomless hard disk;
• Being able to tag pertinent information.
• Being able to repurpose your files endlessly: a chunk from here from document A, another from document B, and yet another from a web source, and voila, your new document is ready.
• Share files with colleagues & teams online.

So help us design this experience, let's do it!
