Software that let's us make sense of our desktop -- coming soon?
March 22, 2008 by Mel AclaroI have a messy desktop. It probably reveals something about my psyche that I just throw things around in a pile. Even with this mess, I'm still pretty good at finding things. And, on occasion I'll try to group and organize files in some logical way. Or (gasp) I might actually file them away in folders! What a concept.
But still, it would be great if I have more features available for, well, making tidier little messy piles. You know, old listing preentation I'm looking at over here... MLS property candidates over there... property listings I'm thinking to trash crumpled up in the other corner... CMAs I'm working on in that corner...
So, now that you've got a little window into the weird-works of my inner-mind, you might have some appreciation for why the video above gets me a little jazzed about the future of desktop logical-mess-making. The video shows a prototype from a company called bumptop; they're working on software that allows us to quickly group piles around on the desktop in various ways, while maintaining the ability to shuffle through the documents and quickly find, dog-ear or highlight them in various ways. And, (gasp) there's even a feature that lets me tidy-up.
