InfoCaris Ideas

A bar that you could dragg and place it where you would like to see it. While dragging it acquires the best form it can be placed in. Making itself longer when dragging it for example above a larger block like the inbox.

The bar displays either the services icons or customizable labels to which you have subscribed. When clicking on them you get a drop down, up or at the side menu that allows you to open the service, direct linking between the main parts of the service (like for Blogger : making a new post, editing it, altering your settings, modifying the layout or just viewing it), the latest news about the development of the service and adjustable sites that report about it.

Making it closely related to the services bar in the top left corner of your Gmail screen and the way the latest version of iGoogle might work.

The toggling between services should allow you to place (automaticly, semi-automaticly or manually) several items from other services on some kind of clipboard (perhaps by using a notebook?) in order to utilize them for other services.


For example :

* So that you can put images from your mails in your blog, photo album, etc. While it proposes tags based on prominently placed words for the images. Thus enabling you to reuse previous pictures in your blog by getting a thumbnail overview of the images you've added with tags when you enter those in some kind of fetch images through tags field box.

* Transferring links automaticly to your bookmarks straight from your mail, blog, out of a photo comment, and so on.

* Suggesting feeds for the reader based on links that you mention that have them, sorting them on frequency of being mentioned. And even proposing feeds, pictures, video's sites and so on based on your repetitive mentioning of your content. And what your frequent
contacts use or display in their "shared items", "notes", "blog's I'm following", "favourites", ...


A lot can be done wit great services and a pushed synergy between them.
