Jigsaw

Jigsaw was founded, like many businesses, on the firm belief that there had to be a better way. Specifically, the idea for Jigsaw came in 2003 when I was VP of Sales at a public company in the Silicon Valley. Sick and tired of getting worn out lists of incorrect data from traditional data companies, I was struck by the idea that the only way to solve the problem was to somehow motivate a whole bunch of people to each provide a few pieces of the data puzzle. I figured that, due to dynamic nature of corporations and their employees, the only way to keep up with this rapid rate of change was to create an open and collaborative system. The analogies drawn were as follows:

However you feel about Facebook there is no denying that it has managed to make a huge impact. This is in no small way down to opening up of the platform to external developers – in many ways an industry first.

As a consequence Facebook has managed to go from being a well-put-together online social networking tool to becoming a socially powered content aggregation hub. By allowing you to bring together the vast majority of your favorite tools and services from around the web, and aggregate them in a single easy-to-navigate destination, Facebook has achieved something totally new.

Robin Good is an excellent source of direction about new media. I’m a dilatant.

FACEBOOK interests me because of a huge population of young fellow alums that I’d like reading and contributing to Jasper Jottings.

Other than that, who needs another “time hole”. No RSS. No efficiencies.
