A tool to cut clutter


Thirty-forty per cent of the mail in your inbox will be of no use, and you may realise this while cleaning it up one fine day. If clutter bothers you, here is an option.

TaskTrek is the tool for you. All messages are grouped into relatable activities and tasks chronologically, thus helping all communication flow in an organised manner automatically. Instead of the ‘send' button, all you have is ‘share.'

“TaskTrek's an alternative to e-mail,” says Dheeraj Juneja, founder and chief executive officer, Loginworks Softwares (www.loginworks.com). His company has designed this hosted service for internal team communication.

It is not just for mailing or messaging, but can also be used for managing resources, teams, documents and office within an organisation, clients and other stakeholders.

Once a company subscribes to this service, Loginworks Software will create an account for it and share its login details. The user types in the URL customised for the company (eg. http://company name.tasktrek.in) and inputs the username and password to access account. This application is accessible from any Internet browser. Starting January 2011, TaskTrek has been made available on the mobile too, says Mr. Juneja.

There will be no room for miscommunication if TaskTrek is used, Mr. Juneja claims. All messages appear in a trail-like format, the users get real-time updates or notifications through e-mail alerts and pop-ups, the entire history of the activity and all related messages are grouped together. Secondly, all files are grouped into standard folders for consistency in the office. And all team members store their information in one standard folder or sub-folder structures.

MAIN TARGETS

Small and medium enterprises are the main targets for this product, which is priced depending on the space required and number of users. A company with 10 users can start using TaskTrek with no difficulty. For it, it is a very economical solution, without having to worry about IT infrastructure.

It will be useful in PR agencies, media, marketing and advertising, where communication is priority, and law and financial agencies where systematic information docking is critical.

4 Free Apps For Discovering Great Content On the Go

1. StumbleUpon The granddaddy of discovering random cool stuff online, StumbleUpon will celebrate its 10th anniversary later this year — but its mobile app is less than a year old. On the web, its eight million users have spent the last decade recommending (or disliking) millions of webpages with a thumbs up / thumbs down system on a specially installed browser bar. The StumbleUpon engine then passes on recommendations from users whose interests seem similar to yours. Hit the Stumble button and you’ll get a random page that the engine thinks you’ll like. The more you like or dislike its recommendations, the more these random pages will surprise and delight. Device : iPhone , iPad , Android 2. iReddit Reddit is a self-described social news website where users vote for their favorite stories, pictures or posts from other users, then argue vehemently over their meaning in the comments section. In recent years, it has gained readers as its competitor Digg has lost them.

‘Wireless’ humans could backbone new mobile networks

People could form the backbone of powerful new mobile internet networks by carrying wearable sensors. The sensors could create new ultra high bandwidth mobile internet infrastructures and reduce the density of mobile phone base stations.Engineers from Queen’s Institute of Electronics, Communications and Information Technology are working on a new project based on the rapidly developing science of body-centric communications.Social benefits could include vast improvements in mobile gaming and remote healthcare, along with new precision monitoring of athletes and real-time tactical training in team sports, an institute release said.The researchers are investigating how small sensors carried by members of the public, in items such as next generation smartphones, could communicate with each other to create potentially vast body-to-body networks.The new sensors would interact to transmit data, providing ‘anytime, anywhere’ mobile network connectivity.Simon Cotton from the i
