TimeMarks

Unlike a conventional history which focuses on artifacts (e.g. web browser’s history), YouPivot’s focus is on time and contextual moments. Often during the course of daily work, a user wants to make a mental note that their current activities are worth returning to. A prime example of this is the bookmark feature in most web browsers today. Yet, these bookmark tools require a mark be made for each item a user wishes to recall, and only captures webpage URLs. Consider web browser bookmarks that must be managed and organized. This can be a cumbersome task. For example, imagine a designer working on a presentation. She may have opened 20 web browser tabs across multiple windows and three applications, each with multiple files. All of these are references, examples, or quotes necessary for her presentation. She would need numerous bookmarks to keep track of all of them. Even with all these web bookmarks, related activity outside the browser is not tracked or cross-referenced to the task.YouPivot leverages its pivot architecture to resolve this problem. TimeMarks, are a new mechanism to allow a user to decide that “this moment” is worth remembering. By clicking the TimeMark button in the browser , the user is presented with a window asking them for a description about that moment. YouPivot then stores that TimeMark in their history, creating a custom contextual cue. You can now re-find all the websites you had open at that exact moment!Click HERE for all the features.
