yesterday we did the final work on chosr.com, in the evening we released it.
There is a button to login as a demo-user, so you can try it without registering.
We worked hard for weeks on this project and hope a lot of people will like it … but even if everyone hates it, it was worth it for our personal use :)
I am now working on the future of chosr. We do alot of research on integration of webservices (want to see a peek of the possibilities ? try the youtube search), and usability, as people without Quicksilver-Concept-Expirience have big problems getting into it.
Guess this will be the last post for a while on chosr. I created a blog for the chosr-Team: blog.chosr.com
Has no contents at the moment, but we will soon begin to talk about Tricks you can do with chosr, the technoligies behind chosr, reactions of users and the research we are doing to get more features than just bookmarking and searching.
In my last post about chosr, the quicksilver-like homepage, there has been some confusion.
The preview video showed you how it looks when a super-user is using chosr.
For the last weeks I have worked hard on a new project. Its a homepage. Damn there are a hell lot of homepages out there… used to use iGoogle.
So what is the concept, that made me believe we need one more homepage on the internet. Basically its Quicksilver. Think that makes sense? I dont know… but personally I am already a junkie.
Currently I am building up a startup with a few people around this new homepage. The homepage is closed at the moment but we are hurrying to open it up.
Here is our preview-video (with power-user-usage!):
I dont want to tell you too much about the concept, but you will be able to superproductivly manage your bookmarks. You will be able to integrate any website, which has a search-functionality. You will be as happy as we’ve been, when you open chosr for the first time on a windows-machine^^.
At the moment, I am using Quicksilver for all my local-application related stuff. And chosr for all my online-applications/websites/researches. Great feeling for me. Hopefully for you too, when its released.
I just updated my FriendFeed-Productivity-Client FFBoosta.
Added functionality to publish new text-messages directly to FriendFeed. I hope I can use this to replace my Twitter-usage, which is too slowly updated at FriendFeed.
UPDATE: At the first start of FFBoosta, you are asked for Account-Informations. After you have done that, you need to refresh the feed. Menu: Feed->Refresh. Keyboard: R.
