What Others Have To Say
Statements
Blog Posts
- “The Zeitgeist talk was inspirational. It gave me all sorts of ideas about how I would organize my system differently if I had more information about how I was using it. By collecting data on what the user is doing and when, Zeitgeist opens up the possibility of more adaptive user interface techniques, as well as simple and useful tools like a journal of activity.” (Source).
- “We had a series of really good discussions with the Zeitgeist team. Their work definitely has long-term implications for the Journal and they expressed interest in making their work relevant to our needs.” (Source).
- “GNOME Zeitgeist, with its focus on pervasive search and integration, could be a great framework for sharing ambient information and workflow—lightweight collaboration with faraway teammates. In development within Zeitgeist is Teamgeist, which would add to Zeitgeist the ability to share certain data and events with teammates via Telepathy Tubes and Multi-User Chat. Teamgeist is in the early design and implementation stages, but it’s clear that Telepathy will give Zeitgeist an easy way to plug into real-time communication functionality.” (Source).
