simple solution – Cyberspace Surfing

It’s all about self-monitoring

Not just individuals, but each company now tries to be presented in as many social networks as possible. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Foursquare, Flickr, Printerest…you name it. Thousands of posts, pictures, tags… Human memory is short even if you post your life on-line by your own, but company profile is managed by bunch of employees. How not to get lost in informational ocean of changeable data and still remember all the traces you left to cover them in case of emergency? There is a new great solution for such a purpose called Recollect.

This is a tool, which helps to archive all the up-dates, photos, comments and other information related to the profile from the several social networks and gives a possibility to download it to the computer like a zip-file. Another interesting feature of this service is the ability to search through the data you downloaded. Though, there are some other tools, maintaining this function, as, for example, CloudMagic, discussed in this my post. For now there are four supported social networks: Twitter, Instagram, Foursquare and Flickr, but developers will expand this list adding some more, Facebook being the first in the line.

This is a paid service, price is charging per month and varies according the amount of data downloaded. Three monthly plans are available (from $6 till $24/month), first month being free. Combining with HootSuite, this service can be a good addition to keep the on-line life of the company under control.

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 personal 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.
