When you have a lot of stuff, you need to be able to know what you are looking for and then find it. That's where processing comes into picture; and its a huge business.
In the big data world, "tools" make a huge difference to get some use out of the large banks of information we are collecting, creating, duplicating and throwing in one huge heap. Tools fall into a few buckets but broadly
In the big data world, "tools" make a huge difference to get some use out of the large banks of information we are collecting, creating, duplicating and throwing in one huge heap. Tools fall into a few buckets but broadly
- Organizing tools that help you to put some structure to madness- these force you to make a plan and stick to it.
- Search tools to help you locate something specific in a huge pile- these work great if you know whats in the pile and how to look for it.
- Presentation tools that organize stuff, sort it and make it look like its all neatly stacked.
We would love services like that for the physical world but the apps, systems that do just these basic items focus on specifics and don't cross boundaries. For example, there are business card managers, calendar managers, mail managers, news feed managers, photo managers/organizers, video managers/organizers. try to mix any of these up and you have a fruit salad.
This is the big data opportunity and tons of companies are jumping on the bandwagon!
