tagging.
The SupraSphere tagging engine is one of the most unique and innovative features of the system. We have taken a very different approach to tagging, almost redefining it to the point that we could reasonably call it something else!
In any case, our tagging engine has numerous different and highly compelling attributes:
When tagging an item, you […]
It’s now common knowledge that Mozilla wants to do an overhaul of Thunderbird. As for the progress they have thus far in fixing email and messaging, it’s too soon to tell. Don’t think I am a Thunderbird hater, I actually use it to manage my Gmail accounts when I’m on my laptop. However, my personal […]
I had an interesting meeting couple of days ago with Andy Lippmann of the MIT Media Lab. He had a hard time seeing the connection between the idea of a secure, private, “personal cloud” and currency, so I figure I have a lot of work to do if someone so esteemed as Dr. Lippmann does […]
The New York Times recently published an article about Adobe Air and the blurring of traditional web and desktop application development:
Adobe Blurs Line Between PC and Web
and there is a nice FAQ from Adobe on the differences and advantages of the Air approach:

I feel that we have a fairly deep perspective on the […]
It’s ironic in a way to be using SS to write about it. However, it kind of serves as a practical application of SS’s uses.
Like any typical article that gets written, there is a planning stage. So, usually that begins with a startup of SupraSphere. I have a sphere set up called “Supra Blog Team” […]
Most mornings, I get up and go through my routine, which usually ends with me drinking Mountain Dew, and sitting down at the dining-room table.

messaging.
Well, since I am a complete geek, I love being able to IM my friends. The problem though is that I can’t ever seem to find the important stuff they say while instant messaging. Often my conversations get garbled up because we’ll be talking about something and go so fast that we are actually discussing […]

In the last post, I gave somewhat of a brief outline of what SupraSphere is.
Now it’s an opportune time for me to explain just what my favorite thing aspect of SupraSphere. *grins* In fact, spheres really make up what this project is.
A sphere is this container for all different sorts of information, including messaging, RSS […]

Instant messaging
Message boards
Feeds
Chats
Email
Where do I begin? Honestly I use every single one of these great tools every day. I’m sure that classifies me as an internet junkie somehow, but as my day rolls on, I check out some news feeds, read my emails, ask for help and assist in the Ubuntu forums, chat on a […]
