dangerousmeta!, the original new mexican miscellany, offering eclectic linkage since 1999.

ThinkUp, ThinkUp, ThinkUp.

Yeah, it’s nice. You know what I want? A desktop version of Momento, with some of ThinkUp’s features (in addition to iPhone and iPad apps). Momento’s totally cool, but it’s tough for my big fingers to type on an iPhone/iPod Touch. It aggregates blog entries, tweets, FB’s, etc. - and you can backup and export. I hope these folks get more attention, they’ve done some really great work. Seriously - take a look at it.

Speaking of iPhone/iPod Touch apps, check out HQ:To Do. They’ve developed this app with a great ethic - fast entry and one-hand thumb-able interface. It’s still early days, a little feature-light, but I really like where they’re going.

[Just FYI - I feel the need to say this every so often - I get no bucks or benefits for pushing anything on this site. What I like, I’ve bought and paid for. YMMV.]

The idea of ThinkUp is great, but the implementation is awful. (Even embarrassing for GT to say many people spent two years putting this together.) The “plugins” are all roll-your-own and will not work for most users. Even after getting it all to work, there doesn’t appear to be one central dashboard aggregating everything—so why bother?

I haven’t used it ... just read the ad copy. I really want something that localizes *all* my social/blog entries, and leaves them under my control.

Nobody’s had the balls to do it yet.

Ahem. I have. I spoke of the plugin problem *from experience*.

Oooof. My condolences. I’ll take your experience, and not bother until it gets a little more civilized.
