Merlin joins Stikkit advisory board

Values of n Blog: Merlin Mann advises
I'm happy to announce that I've accepted an offer to advise Values of n on the development of their Stikkit web application. In fact, although I've been using and loving Stikkit for several months now, I've held off talking about it much on 43f until this addition was made official and public1. But, since I stand to have an advisor's stake in the business as a result of this work, it was important to tell you guys and properly disclose my involvement before doing much gushing in the content well here. I have a pile of tips for how I'm using Stikkit and have been regularly poking Rael, Michael, and crew (to what I imagine is the point of polite professional annoyance) with feature ideas and things I want the app to do (hint: everything). So I'm glad I can finally start sharing this stuff, here and elsewhere. This is the first Advisory Board thing in which I've participated (my OmniFocus advising is pro bono and will continue as before), so I'm pretty excited to officially get started. Anyhow, I wanted you to know about this and to say that I'll be linking back to this post whenever it's appropriate to remind you of my proud involvement in Stikkit. I am enthused about where this project is headed, and I'm honored that Rael and his team have let me in on their process. 1. Note that folks in Canada can catch a demo of Stikkit I did on Call for Help which I taped in December, before this was approaching officialness. 29 Comments

I think it's interesting, but it's definitely beta software for me- the hoops that I have to jump through to get things to process as tasks or contacts, or to link things correctly is just way too much maintenance for me. And I appear not to be the only one who is unable to import my address book That said, once it really does get going, it's really gonna be something- the way it can create outlines (my natural way of thinking) that go right into to dos and match up with the contacts and the calendar and links etc. » POSTED IN:
