Best ways to categorize information

When searching the internet for information, the best ways to filter down all the information and get to the specifics of what it is you are looking for is to use specific KEY WORDS in your search. For example, when searching for a good pasta recipe one would want to use words such as "pasta" "sauce" "recipe" and "easy". This would suggest that you are looking for an easy pasta recipe and you would greatly increase your chances of finding what it is you're looking for within in the first few search hits. Key word searches are also a good rule of thumb to remember when searching for information.

Another key factor in finding information is being able to then hold on to that information once you've finally found it. Some of the most common methods of information extraction are tabs, tags, and bookmarks. But in more recent development websites are creating specified ways of holding on to a searchers information directly through the website. Example: Pinterst is a website that allows its users to find massive amounts of information on an area of interest (mostly visual), and then allows the user to "pin" the information once they've found it to there specific boards created just to hold information related to the topic. Once an item is pinned, it is forever saved under its category and the user can then easily refer back to it whenever they need to.

ShakeBee

Making Communication easier, one shake at a time.  

With each passing day technology continues to amaze us. As if it isn't impressive enough that we can constantly be in communication with our friends and colleagues around the globe, technonolgy enables us to do it in a matter of seconds through numerous different virtual mediums. The business world in particular has greatly benefited from such technological advancements such as texting, video chatting/ conferencing, instant messaging, and much more. And now, thanks to ShakeBee, business meetings may never be the same.

ShakeBee, Developed by Social Objectives Software, is the next wave of virtual communication. Users of the app have the ability to communicate with each other without actually texting the message out, but instead use a set of pre-programmed finger gestures that dictate a sentence or idea. Using a touch-screen phone, one user may run his/her fingers in a circular motion over the touch-screen, which would then send a message to a specified user such as "this meeting is the worst!" or run his/her fingers horizontally a few times to say "i think he's bluffing, lets not agree just yet". Using ShakeBee allows co-workers discretely communicate with one another allowing everyone to be on the same page and appearing more professional attentive, instead of coming across as distracted or rude to another member at the meeting.

I believe that in order to properly write about an app, one should be familiar with it. So i downloaded ShakeBee, here are my findings:

- In order for ShakeBee to work most effectively, it must be pre-programmed.
-Using your address book, ShakeBee locates other phones who also have the ShakeBee app and sends them requests to join with your device.
-Pre-Programming is super easy. Just text what you want a motion to be then make the motion you want associated with that you texted.
-Voila!!! You can now have secret conversations.

Although ShakeBee was created for the professional world, it is important to note that ShakeBee is not just limited to business-related situations. ShakeBee could also be used in social situations or while driving so a driver does not have to take their eyes off the road in order to send a message.
