Increasing my web efficiency
I don’t have time to go a million places on the web and nowadays there are dozens if not hundreds of services that grab a bunch of data and spit it out to me in a nice readable fashion. For example rss readers for gathering news, delicious for my bookmarks, etc. And then there are the sites that show me as many at once as possible like netvibes or igoogle or mytrade.
What i want goes beyond this, I want to be able to get ALL of MY information in one place fast, secure, and EASY. This service should be able to put my email, bank info, portfolio status, bookmarks, simple googling, weather, news, to do list, and whatever else that I can think of right in front of me at any time without having to go all over the place to find it.
AND what I really want is to be able to get the info via texting (or mobile web if I used it). Like texting the word USBANK CHECKING BAL to the service to get my account balance, or BROKERAGE to get updated portfolio information, or STOCK GOOG to get a stock quote, or RSS NEWS to get news headlines, DIRECTIONS HOME TO MCDONALDS for directions, or even SPORTS to get sports scores.
I have spent so much time setting up Netvibes and iGoogle to maximize my web efficiency and neither work for me, I still have to go all over the place because most of the widgets just don’t work.
Some of these functions obviously don’t translate well via texting, and alot of this is available via mobile web devices, but I don’t have one so I know it sounds ridiculous but can’t a man dream.
