know about it: Managing Content Overload -
Let’s forget for a minute that the average Know About It user has 500 links flowing through their social streams daily. Taking just one prolific source like TechCrunch serves as an interesting use case for Know About It. As of 7:45 PM EST on 4/12/11 TechCrunch had posted 38 articles in a 24 hour…

KnowAbout.it is really starting to know about me, and I love that.
If you don’t know about KnowAbout.it yet, you sign up and start waking up with this amazing email in your inbox that tells you all the stuff you probably missed in your social stream from the day before.
This morning, they NAILED it, showing off a link my dear friend Aaron Cohen shared yesterday that his family famous book store was sold.
That was certainly news and a link that I missed, and rightly was at the top of my page.
Anyway, if you want an invite to KnowAbout.it, I believe as a user I can hand out a few. If you have my email address, email me and I’ll be pleased to get you in the beta.
Very excited to see Nate and others finding great stuff on Know About It. Nate mentions that all current alpha users now have invites to give out. Reach out to any of your friends on Know About It (including me!) and we’ll get you an account.

App stores are a short term fix to problem that web browsing on mobile devices (including tablets) sucks.
“The problem is, when I log into any of my social networks today…I’m presented with whatever is happening right now. What if the best stuff, the stuff I would be most interested in, was posted when I was out and about in the real world? In some cases, I can go back in time and try to catch up…but it’s a lot of work, and it takes way too much of my time for very limited return.” —

know about it: Product Update: Collection Summary -
Know About It’s Collection Summary has been a hit amongst our alpha users. So far we’ve seen staggering numbers (even at our scale) concerning how many people are reading the email, and how many users are clicking through to great content. This has been hugely encouraging to Kevin and I, so we…

Katz’s deli has the best hot dogs and the best pastrami in NYC. But the pastrami is so incredible that it is much better than the hot dogs, so every time I go there I end up getting pastrami. Hence I never eat the best hot dogs in NYC. Kind of a shame.
This applies to startups. There are always lots of things you can do to improve your company but ultimately there will be an optimal use of each incremental dollar and person-hour. Hence you’ll end up *not* doing lots of things - even great things, things that other companies would love to do.

Shame Chris doesn’t use his Tumblr more regularly - this would facilitate reblogging much more.
