Wizbit is a way to store and organise your data which remembers every change you make, synchronises without worry, and is browsable in terms of how you think about the data you're looking for.
This seems to be a very interesting project: we still haven't designed how to deal with versioning (for real) and this seems a very interesting (and working) tool. It could be nice to pursue and integration with FSter.
Take a look at the timeline widget:

Let me clarify why I'm posting this video: it's not comparative advertising or speaking bad of a competitor. I'd just like to revitalize the discussion on one of the points from which the itsme project stems: control over personal data.

While our tech team is focusing on completing the development (and packaging) of our prototype, FSter is starting to get popular. Let me point out this post from "Quick and Dirty hacks":
With tracker, and fster we’re edging toward a solution to making everything accessible without the pain of sorting. Using these tools we can build semantic fuse file system. Still in it’s early stages and with lots of features to come, take some time to try it out!

At TED2009, Tim Berners-Lee called for "raw data now" -- for governments, scientists and institutions to make their data openly available on the web. At TED University in 2010, he shows a few of the interesting results when the data gets linked up.
Wouldn't it be nice to have this power on the whole environment you're working...
Speaking at the Digital Landscapes conference at UCD, John Herlihy (Google Sales Chief) said:
“In three years time, desktops will be irrelevant. In Japan, most research is done today on smart phones, not PCs”
We are wella ware of Google's vision (and approach) about cloud computing, but still we think personal computing (on local hardware and software) will still have a relevant role in three years.
Got any comment on the original article?

These all seems good reason for investing on the Web (let me drop "2.0" please) instead of trying to develop Personal Computing. What do you think about the 10 reasons in the video above? Do you think they impact our work, or (as I do) that user experience of Social Media could only benefit from having...
During my daily check of latest news and articles I found this interesting post on ArsTechnica , describing how and why Google is working on Chrome OS. It's a four-page article that I absolutely suggest you to read because it's very interesting. What really hit me is the workflow Google adopted to create Chrome: instead of spending millions in researches over "human-trends", an area that is everything but precise and measurable, they simply created a prototype and let it being adopted by 2 hundreds googlers. It sounds great: simple and smart and it's more or less the strategy that itsme...
Nowadays being updated is a must. The answer to this need is quite clear in our everyday routine: we use smartphones to be always ready for our business, to "make online things" and surely to enjoy staying in touch with our friends on most-rated social networks like facebook, twitter or flickr. Basically we are online from our most common places (aka office, home, university, gym, etc...) and we are online also during our "journey-time" (train, metro and so on) thanks to latest communication protocols, giving a real demonstration on what in the IT Science is called "ubiquitous computing".
Now, reply to...
Again on Nepomuk (and therefore KDE), here's a (not so) brief overview of its features. Even if, as stated before, we are using another tool for our metadata management, it's worth keeping a discussion open on the topic. Just in case someone thinks we're not keeping an eye on what's happening around us ;)

It seems like we're not alone in our vision of having all that is needed at a certain time, and for a certain purpose, in a certain place. Let me suggest you reading this post from ChaniBlog, which was promptly circulated in the itsme tech team by Vincenzo.
Here are some brief quotes from the post:
What I think of as an “activity” is the entirety of what I’m working on at the moment – be it a kde-related project or a university course or just reading lots of comics. :) This activity includes several windows from several applications. It includes files...
