Development of the personal cloud search platforms
Today millions of people have their own place in the internet – from pages in social networks to huge storages in cloud services. With every new day the amount of information in the web is growing with faster and faster pace, so people’s personal spaces in the internet are getting overloaded with data. Isn’t it annoying when you’re surely know that some info is stored somewhere in one of your internet-based accounts but still you’re not able to find it.
Cross-platform perso
nal search is not something unbelievably new and rare. One of the earliest projects is called Cue (former name Greplin) – the startup even got a $4 million investment from Sequoia Capital, but that didn’t make the company’s service do the job in the best possible way. Because of information overload in the search results the project was transformed into some kind of personal online secretary that divides all your data by days.
Yet another personal cloud search solution named CloudMagic was developed in different way. Second generation includes extension for all the main personal data storage online services like Facebook, Dropbox, Evernote, Box, iCloud, AOL, Mail.com, GMX, and Office 365. Add to that list previously supported Google Docs, Google Contacts, Google Calendar, Microsoft Exchange, and Twitter and you will get the search engine for all your online stuff. Being focused on the search itself developers made applications for users of iOS (with particular iPad app) and Android operated devices (Kindle Fire as well). The service is also able to make a list of all your network updates so you don’t have to launch another web-page or app to stay in tune with e-mails and social networks.
CloudMagic’s video shows the typical ways of service’s usage and I’m still amazed by it.
Very often people lack of news about new projects and discoveries that can make everyday life more convenient. You can’t wait till “word of mouth” reaches you or endlessly look through different application stores and markets. So this is my “word of mouth”. Hope, it will help you.
