PIM includes three areas of special importance: task management, personal archiving, and contact management. We explore how and why email is currently used to support these PIM functions, and the problems arising from using email for PIM. We evaluate new

Instant messaging (IM) conjures up images of bored teenagers using a software-based gossiping tool. Most IM programs are free, and few competing products can talk to one another, making skeptics wonder how useful IM is in the enterprise.

Email graphic traceroute Paste an email with full headers (we need the 'Received' lines -- we don't need your email addresses, digg). The app will (we hope) trace the path your email message took as it passed through various servers, on Google maps.
Digg, slashdot, and del.icio.us/popular - this is a constant browsing cycle for us. So why not combine them into a unified format without all the extra chrome? We can eliminate dupes and add some extra niceities.
The shift to Social Computing Posted by Dion Hinchcliffe There's been a lot of interest recently in the social aspects of Web 2.0 experiences because of their tendency to alter the communities that use them.
Most software applications ever written belong to the so-called single-sink category. Interestingly, some of the applications that are starting to emerge in the age of web are being dubbed Social Software. Here we compare the two, and then look beyond the

With the caveats that Alexa’s data is not comprehensive—and even if they had perfect stats, “Alexa Rank” is still just one definition of popularity (a combination of reach and pageviews)—here’s the 10 most popular social media sites (with corr
I want to talk about what I now think is one of the core challenges for designing large-scale social software. Let me offer a definition of social software, because it's a term that's still fairly amorphous. My definition is fairly simple: It's software t
As most of my readers know, social software is enablement of groups of people to collaborate using computer mediation. It's a surprisingly sophisticated field that's been around for almost 40 years now. Two famous examples of social software include the

Automatisch muss kein Mieter bei Auszug die Wohnung renovieren. Nach dem Gesetz sind Schönheitsreparaturen Sache des Vermieters. Nur wenn im Mietvertrag eine wirksame Schönheitsreparaturklausel vereinbart ist, muss der Mieter renovieren.
Der Streit um die Schönheitsreparaturen in Mietwohnungen beschäftigt immer wieder die Gerichte. Dabei gewinnt einmal die Mieterseite, ein anderes Mal der Vermieter. Auf jeden Fall aber geht es oft um eine Menge Geld, denn Streichen, Tapezieren und sonst
