Stikkit on the Web
8. November 2006 – 23:02 by
Stikkit is a new service which was launched at the Web 2.0 conference in San Francisco today. It is the first service of US company Values of n.
As you can already guess from the service’s name it is a web based post-it service, similar to Zettels which I mentioned yesterday. Though Stikkit is much more than a post-it replacement. You can easily create to-do lists, calendar entries, contact lists and a collection of bookmarks. Those entries can be tagged, of course.
In the background the service tries to identify what kind of entry you write. By typing “-” it assumes it is a to-do, “meet with Carl Jones on November 18 at 8pm” is recognised as a calendar entry as well as a contact. Though it won’t detect contacts if you write a name with German umlauts. Maybe it is the same with other languages. I hope this will be improved. Do I have to mention that you can share and print your Stikkits and even subscribe to them with your favourite RSS aggregator?
Stikkit is easy to use and looks very promising already, though it cannot compete with stand alone calendars or to-do lists. It will be interesting to see how it develops and if it can find its niche.
