Stikkit gets serious contact management, bookmarklet upgrades

Stikkit gets serious contact management, bookmarklet upgradesStikkit, the web-based PIM that thinks, has gained a few significant upgrades in the form of very, very powerful contact-related PIM management, as well as a couple of impressive new bookmarklets stikklets. First up is "a complete do-over" of peeps (that's Stikklet speak for 'contacts') that brings a relational aspect to keeping track of who, what, when and where. They produced a long screencast that demos the slew of Stikkit's new abilities which include updating a contact's information if new info is ever mentioned in another stikkit, aggregating related stikkit's on a peep's page such as emails and appointments you paste (or forward to) a stikkit, and a whole lot more. They definitely meant that "complete do-over" comment, so check out the screencast for all the new peeps stuff.

Last but by no means least on the list of big updates are two new 'stikklets' that let you add stikkits to your account from any page you're visiting. The first stikklet has the impressive effect of opening a new stikkit right on top of the page you're looking at, while the second opens in a popup window. Both of them can snag any text you highlighted and offer full editing (and Stikkit's impressive 'thinking') capabilities before you save and go on about your uninterrupted business. These two bookmarklets are sure to be handy tools for the online PIM power users in the audience.

If you're looking to learn more about this new web service, check out Stikkit.com (while not logged in, of course) and the company's blog, as they have linked a number of introductory screencasts, case studies and customer testimonials which should all help you wrap your head around what's possible with this most unique of PIM systems.

Graveyard Shift - zombie-busting Time Waster

With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet. They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...
