Wouldn't it be cool if there was an application, a desktop dashboard of sorts, that unobtrusively monitored, analyzed, distilled, categorized, and reacted to all of your important net-driven information and provided it to you through an aesthetically pleasing "skinnable" interface?? This is what I have been working on for the last couple of years; I'm calling it Mentations. The tagline for the product is "Transforming thought into action". By this I mean software that will know you so well, your interests, goals, concerns, priorities, etc. that it will be able to be your "personal intelligence agent" on the web. Not only will it collect, distill, and display pertinent information to you, but it will be able to react to information received with "meta-commands" that you have provided to it. You will be able to fully automate these commands or require your final approval before execution. An example you ask? When your checking account balance falls below a certain limit, you instruct Mentations to transfer a $100 from savings to checking. What do you think about the concept?
