Zenbe

E-Mail

Zenbe looks like an interesting startup that might be fun to work at. They are attempting to tackle and improve the dismal situation of e-mail today. I don’t know much about the people involved in the company but the work looks challenging and fun.

Attensa

Robert Scoble has an interesting video presentation/demonstration posted on the PodTech Network about a software called Attensa. This is definitely something worth checking out if your are fans of Microsoft Outlook and don’t want to install a separate piece of software for handling your syndicated feeds. It also supports IBM’s Sametime.

I also recommend that you read the Feeds at Work section on the Attensa web site. There are some short blurbs that share the same sentiment as what I have written on this web site and internally at my work.

The only issue I have with Attensa from the video and demos that I have checked out (as I’m not a Microsoft Outlook fan) is that, in some ways, it looks a lot like Feed Demon. Hmm…

I found these via RotorBlog and Skype Journal. Thanks, Kate, for the tip.

Just One Club Card

I enjoy finding new ways to do more with less and recently read about a clever idea originally reported by LifeHacker where you can create one card for all your club cards. This is made possible by entering in the numbers of your club cards via the Just One Club Card web site and then printing the final result:

Just One Club Card

Even though the picture above only shows my REI and Hallmark accounts, I ended up putting my Safeway, Albertsons, and King Soopers accounts on the back side.

My recommendation is that you use heavy weight paper and print at high quality for excellent results. I didn’t end up laminating my card might do it in the future. I was happy to shred all seven of my cards and just end up with one card that does it all.
