How I note down my insights in the fastest and most frictionless way when taking walks, doing online research or having an epiphany with @otter_ai, @RoamResearch and @worldbrain
ππΌ
Using @otter_ai's speech-to-text I can go on reflection walks and just talk out what comes up, without being interrupted to write notes.
When doing my [[Weekly Review]] I can skim through and easily extract the most important bits in text form.
Our own @worldbrain Memex to
- Annotate websites & Youtube videos
- Have a GTD workflow with an Inbox to quickly save
- Full-text search all pages, PDFs and Tweets I save
- Sharing collections of content or annotated versions of pages
- (soon) following collections of friends
@RoamResearch to
- take notes and solve the "black hole problem" of notes that are made but never resurface.
- Plan my daily TODOs
- Do my weekly review
- Where all my notes land from Memex & Kindle via @readwiseio
Route your browser and mic sound to one channel and only your browser sound on a separate channel as your monitor. Select your headphones (in my case "Dixie Dewdrop") as the monitor device.
In tech there's a lot of buzz around decentralisation and privacy.
I think both are the wrong product values to OPTIMISE for, even though we're building decentralised & privacy respecting products with @worldbrain
Instead: It's interoperability/openness. [THREAD]
Don't get me wrong. Both decentralisation and privacy are important values. But building products with such a prime focus will hinder market adoption and thus the potential impact of your products. Just think about one blockchain product you ACTUALLY use in your daily life? 2/10
Problem: The frictions of using decentralised and privacy focused products. You're fucked when you lose your encryption keys or device. Decentralisation has privacy challenges too. People want convenience and security. They want someone responsible for their data being safe. 3/10
It's been 5 years since I started researching online misinformation and building practical solutions. Here are things I learned about one of the most complex and fundamental problems of humanity: Making sense of the world around us. [1/13]
Misinformation is not just about false information, but information overload. The more information people need to process daily, the higher the chances are that misinformation can affect them. Reducing this overload is as important as providing correct information. [2/13]
Business was always about trading scarcity. For current ad-based online services it's our attention. So what's next? Scarcity of quality information. Whoever manages to build a scalable business model that rewards quality information will crack the misinformation problem. [3/13]
