(Preview) Nozbe iPhone app 2.0 - what's new there?

Wed, 10 Mar 2010 21:25:00 GMT

We’re rolling out the first beta version of the new iPhone app for Nozbe.

“We” is a very complex thing in this aspect, as my company is NOT building the new iPhone app, we decided to partner with experts in building stuff for the Mac (and iPhone), a company called:

Why this partnership?

Because building dedicated apps is not our core competency, after we’ve built the first iPhone app we decided to we’d better focus on getting the web app right (hence Nozbe 2.0) and let others create apps for our platform.

What’s different?

1. We’ll be doing it together

First off, we’re building the app with them, so our know-how is there and I’m making sure the app is great, but on the other hand Macoscope team has ideas on their own that will make the app even better.

2. There will be constant development

Macoscope guys recognize that for the iPhone app to be really successful, they’ll need to be updating the app on the regular basis with bug fixes, improvements and most of all, new cool productivity features to make most of the iPhone platform. We’ve got real cool gems in the pipeline. You’ll be amazed.
3. The app will not be free anymore.

Don’t worry, the app will be just a few bucks, so no one is running for your money. Yes, I know that’s a controversial decision and not really inline with the old app, but the new iPhone app will be distributed by Macoscope and it’ll cost a few bucks.

There will be an introductory price for the current customers and I’ll be offering special savings on Nozbe plans to make the transition for all of you as smooth as possible.

Would you want the old iPhone app with no updates or would you prefer pay a few bucks to make sure the new app is getting better all of the time? Yes, that’s the tradeoff, and I’m sure it’s woth it. You’ll see.

4. There will be an iPad version

We’re all very excited about the new iPad and the possibilities for a yet better and more complete productivity application. Macoscope will bring you the best GTD iPad app by modifying the Nozbe’s interface for that device.

5. The new Nozbe for iPhone will help collaboration

With comments, delegating, project sharing and some really cool iPhone-only features, the new Nozbe for iPhone will be an ideal companion for your team’s Nozbe business multi-user account

What’s the rollout schedule?

The first beta is out to the first batch of Nozbe beta-testers and it’s focusing mainly on the new UI and the sync.

Beta 2 will feature attachments (files in Nozbe projects) and project sharing and delegation – to be released by the end of this week.

Beta 3 will feature comments and true GTD Inbox – in two weeks

Beta 4 will be a release candidate that will make sure all the main bugs and issues are sorted out – in three weeks

The new Nozbe 2 for the iPhone will hit the Appstore in 4-5 weeks if all goes according to plan. Let’s make the app really great! Together.

In the next posts I’ll be showing you new screenshots of the new Nozbe 2 iPhone app

Nozbe Translation Platform tips and tricks - your native language in Nozbe

Thu, 25 Feb 2010 11:22:00 GMT

Update (Mar 1, 2010): Just updated the post with another enhancements – you can now see other translators’ suggestions!

—

Wow, I’ve been blown away the response to our call for translators – there are lots of folks translating Nozbe to different languages and we are totally excited!

It’s time for some tips and tricks

Today, while I was revising the Spanish translation and translating stuff myself, I found out several glitches in the system (which we’ve already corrected) and some tips and tricks that can help you make the translation even better, so here goes:

Tip 1. Read the string IDs

Each text snippet in Nozbe (called “string”) has its own ID that only Nozbe understands. Just have a look at this example:

As you can see these two strings have the following IDs:
BIZ_ACCOUNTS_LEFT1
and
BIZ_ACCOUNTS_LEFT2

so it’s safe to assume these two strings run one after another, and if you look at the contents of these strings, this makes sense:
You have
??
accounts left

so the sentence like: “you have X accounts left” makes total sense here.

This is why try to look at IDs and don’t translate each string separately but treat them as a whole and translate it in such a way, that the X makes total sense in your language, too. If you know some Spanish, you see I’ve done exactly that.

Tip 2. Mind the HTML

Some strings contain HTML in some places, remember about it and don’t drop it from your translation, try to make it as faithful as possible, just look at this one:

Tip 3. Keep the short strings… short

On the right hand side of each translation you can see a percentage number. If your string is shorter than the original, it’s below 100%, if it’s longer, it’s more.

While in long strings the length in your language doesn’t matter all that much, in short strings it might. So please always seek the shortest phrases possible. Just look at this example:

In Spanish, we could have written “Correo electronico” instead of “E-Mail” but the latter one is simply shorter and everyone understands it anyway, right?

Tip 4. Mind the capital letters

Sometimes the strings in Nozbe start with capital letters and sometimes not. This is on purpose and your translation should reflect that. Just have a look at this example:

Tip 5. Translate GTD-style – one group at a time

We’ve divided the whole translation into groups on purpose. We want to give you and ourselves a feeling of completion when one group is done.

So instead of doing everything at once, just do one group at a time and stop at some today, do others tomorrow. You’ll be very effective and we’ll be happy to have a significant part of the translation job done.

Tip 6 (NEW!). Check out suggestions by others

As the translation platform is growing, several people are submitting their suggestions to our system which resulted in sometimes 4 people working on the same set of translations

We’re working hard on accepting these as quickly as possible, but we’re not there 24/7.

To make sure you work only on the stuff that’s new and don’t submit the same things, you can now see other translators’ suggestions like this:

If the other suggestion is good, just move on to another phrase. Saves you time and makes everyone very productive :-)

Million thanks to everyone who’s helping!

Thank you thank you thank you! It’s incredible how we’re quickly transforming Nozbe from an English-only app to a true international and global GTD app. All contributions are welcome and if you haven’t still joined, watch the video and get going – you can help us bring Nozbe to speak natively your language!

Getting Nozbe Translations Done - let's bring productivity app to your language

Tue, 23 Feb 2010 21:27:00 GMT

We’ve got really lots going on right now, the new iPhone app beta testing and now finally we’ve finished preparing our translation platform to make it smooth for you and everyone to bring Nozbe to people in your country who don’t speak English.

Just watch this short 5-minute video to see how it works:

We’ll be busy translating Nozbe to really cool new languages. After all, lots of folks outside of America haven’t heard of “Getting Things Done” and they really need to be productive, too!

We need people from different countries. The primary focus is on Spanish, German and Dutch, but all the other languages are also welcome!

We will really make it worth your while, so please help us translate and bring Nozbe to your countrymen, thanks!

Beta testers needed for the new Nozbe iPhone app

Tue, 16 Feb 2010 15:11:00 GMT

I know you’ve been waiting for this for quite a while now, let’s start the beta testing of our new Nozbe iPhone app:

How will we roll out the app?

This and next week we’ll be distributing the app to the beta testers and we’ll have initial testing of the app:

Phase 1 – Sync and design

In the first phase (until end of February) beta testers will be testing the app against our development server – we’ll give each beta tester a Solo account on the development server so that they can test syncing and the overall performance of the app.

Yes, because the testers will be using development server, we’ll ask them to migrate using our newest backup/restore feature at least a few of the most intensive projects for them to the development server so that they can work on those both on the iPhone and on the web.

This will be an extra hassle for the testers but will enable us to thoroughly test syncing to make sure no errors or missing data happens during the sync. The most important “problem” people are having with the current app is the lack of consistency when syncing so we want to make sure we’ve addressed it once and for all.

Phase 2 – Comments, Sharing and Inbox

In the second phase, starting beginning March, we’ll be rolling out a new beta 2 version of the app that will hopefully work already against our production server.

We’ll invite more beta testers, especially those who have Multi-user accounts to test our sharing, delegating and commenting features on the iPhone.

Phase 3 – roll out by the end of March

By the end of March we should have a final app ready and submitted to the Appstore for you to enjoy. This time it will sync perfectly, work beautifully in team environments and make you and your teams really productive.

How to become a beta tester?

If you’ve read the entire blog post, you know what are the constraints and issues in phase 1 (development server) and if you still want to dedicate your time and help us make the app perfect (we hope you do!), just post a comment below saying that you want to be a beta tester and why, and we’ll select a few and email you instructions as how to proceed further.

If you want to be a beta tester, let us know in the comments! Thanks!

How Nozbe works with your favorite apps to make you even more productive

Wed, 10 Feb 2010 16:42:00 GMT

Over the last 3 years we’ve integrated Nozbe with many many cool apps, web apps, web services, etc.

Just have a look at the variety of apps Nozbe works with:

We’ve recently prepared a dedicated page:

Nozbe Extras

where you can learn all about these integrations, watch the videos and step by step instructions as to how incorporate Nozbe into your workflow and the apps you’re already using.

We’ve also recently updated the Nozbe Tour page where you can learn nore abut cool Nozbe features, our integration with Email and watch basic as well as advanced video of Nozbe in action.

Hope both the Extras and the Tour pages will help you get even more done with your Nozbe account. Please let me know what you think!

Nozbe celebrates 3 years of web-based productivity!

Tue, 02 Feb 2010 13:32:00 GMT

Three years ago, I’ve officially shown Nozbe to the world – as you know, I’ve been using Nozbe before as my private productivity tool since early 2005… but it was February 2007 when I had something I could show to the world.

What happened in these three years?

We had three major design changes
We had two logos (the one you’re seeing now is the 2nd one)
We are serving tens of thousands of users around the globe… and helping get them stuff done!
We integrated with lots of 3rd party apps
We killed other branches of my company: after first year of operation I closed down apivision.com consultancy business as Nozbe was so profitable (and so much fun to work on!) that I wanted to focus only on Nozbe
We survived economic downturn with a significant revenue and profit increase (when every company was going down, we were, and are, going up)
We found not only a business in Nozbe, but more of a calling to increase people’s productivity around the world with other initiatives like Productive Magazine, Productive Show, Internet Business Productivity blog and my Twitter profile

Where is Nozbe headed?

We’re building apps around Nozbe, the completely new iPhone app to be released next month, apps for other platforms (Blackberry and Android and Desktop) in the works
We’re finally translating Nozbe to other languages to make sure people all around the world get things done! (translation platform to be rolled out this month)
We’re focusing on business customers with better sharing and collaboration capabilities. We really want companies and teams to get a lot done this year!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I can’t thank you enough for all of your support and for using Nozbe as your productivity tool.

Without my customers we wouldn’t be running one of the leading productivity apps on the Internet and we wouldn’t have achieved better productivity ourselves.

We owe it all to you! Thanks again!

- Your Nozbe Team: Michael, Delfina, Tom and collaborators.

Offline Nozbe Backups and SSL for everyone

Thu, 21 Jan 2010 03:48:00 GMT

We’ll be celebrating 3 years of business on February 1st 2010 and because of that we’ve prepared some extra stuff for you to help you get even more done this year:

Offline Backups of your Nozbe account

You’ve been asking for this one for quite a while now and we finally delivered… but we made sure we’d give you a lot more than just backups!

While some apps let you backup to XML, CSV and some other strange formats, in Nozbe you backup to a plain, nice text file that you can actually read on any computer and get stuff done when not connected to the Internet.

That’s correct, in Nozbe you can download the backup, open in a standard text editor like Notepad, add actions, mark some as done, add projects, etc… and upload your backup back to Nozbe and see the changes!

Watch this video to see Nozbe Offline Backups in action:

Isn’t that cool?

Enhanced SSL Security to all paying customers

We’ve been listening and we decided that our dedication to Internet security is more important than anything else so from now on even Solo users get full Enhanced SSL Security by default during their entire Nozbe session.

We make sure your data is safely stored on our servers, we use triple-backup technology, firewalls and fingerprint restrictions to make sure nothing happens to your data on our backend and now we use Enhanced SSL Security on our frontend.

All of our paying Nozbe users now can enjoy the same level of security they are accustomed to when visiting online banking system. Your actions and projects are as important (if not more)as your savings.

More contexts and projects on all plans

We’ve raised Contexts and Projects allowances on most of the account plans – all existing users have been upgraded automatically and can enjoy these today. Solo users get up to 50 contexts, Plus users 200 contexts, Family users get 2000 projects, etc.

Let me thank you so much for your continued business and for being a very productive Nozbe user!

Thanks to you we’ve been enjoying a steady growth throughout these 3 years and 2009, the “recession year” for most businesses was our best year yet. We’re sure to have an even better 2010 and we’re expecting to roll out some great enhancements to your favorite productivity tool.

Michael's going to the USA - Nozbe Meetup/Tweetup in the Silicon Valley?

Mon, 18 Jan 2010 00:17:00 GMT

I’m traveling to the USA this week, I’ll be in the New York City Monday – Wednesday and later in the Silicon Valley Area Thursday Jan 21 till Thursday Jan 28.

How about an “unofficial” Nozbe meetup somewhere in the Silcon Valley or San Francisco?

What do you think? How do you see it? Where would you want it to be?

I’m thinking about a spontaneous and very informal meeting with a bunch of Nozbe users, sharing some experiences in productivity and Nozbe and most of all, just hanging out together :-) I’d love to meet at least some of you in person.

What do you think?

Changes in Forum - Search, New GTD Section and more...

Thu, 14 Jan 2010 15:12:00 GMT

One of our New Year’s resolutions has been to improve our communication with our users and we’re working hard towards this goal.

Email Support

Our Email support has always been timely, our Customer Support Pro – Delfina – handles support daily (even on weekends) so if you email us at questions AT nozbe DOT com – you’ll receive an answer within max 48 hours (in the worst-case scenario), but usually Delfina will reply to you within just a few hours.

Forums

Forum Search – you’ve requested this for a long time and we’ve finally delivered – Forum Search is there and you can check out what others are saying on the forums on the subject you want to comment
New Forum – Productivity and Getting Things Done – we’ve opened a new, not directly related to Nozbe forum, where you can share your best practices in GTD and comment on those with other Nozbe users. It’s an experiment to see if you want to talk about your productivity tips and tricks – keep the discussion going!
Response times on Forums – Delfina has been keeping up with Forums when she could, but our response times on forums were not as fast as with email and we’re not proud of that, so from now on not only Delfina but also yours truly (Michael – that’s me!) and Tom (our chief developer) will also participate in discussions on a regular basis.

Facebook

We’ve set up our Facebook page so make sure to stop by, become a fan and participate in the discussions going on there.

Twitter

Nozbe is active on Twitter and as you know you can even use DM (Direct Messages) to send your actions to Nozbe directly from Twitter – here are setup instructions
I’m also active on Twitter so make sure to follow me (6000+ followers can’t be wrong, right? :-)

Thanks for your feedback!

Just wanted to reiterate that although our forum participation has been lacking, we’ve read all of your feedback there and we’re cooking really cool stuff for you right now… Next week we’ll be announcing one of the most-requested features… on steroids! So make sure to subscribe to our blog and keep an eye on us!

Work on Documents more effectively with Version control and Thumbnails

Tue, 12 Jan 2010 19:24:00 GMT

As you very well know, each project in Nozbe has Actions (to-dos), Notes and Files – and we have given too little significance to this last part of our productivity setup… but not anymore.

Work and Collaborate more effectively on documents (files) right in Nozbe!

We’ve pushed several updates to Nozbe to make sure you can now better work on files and documents, so here goes:

Version Control – this is a big deal – you can now upload a document, your teammate can download it, make changes and upload the new version of the file – and Nozbe keeps all the versions right there so you can always go back to the previous versions of your documents. (just click on the file and click on the “new version” button)
Thumbnail view – if your document is an image, just put your cursor above the file name and you’ll see the thumbnail view of the image, you can quickly scan the list of files to see what’s where
Faster uploading – now uploading files is easier and you can track the percentage of the file being uploaded… so you know what’s happening and if your Internet connection is treating you well and sending the file to Nozbe

These three enhancements make using Nozbe Files section perfect for collaboration:

work on Word documents together, make changes, upload…
attach images, logos, and revise them with your team, no need for additional hosting space

... and now that the Family plan has 4GB of storage, you have plenty of room to collaborate with your teammates.

Get your documents done! :-)

Install Nozbe on your computer as stand-alone web app using Fluid or Prism

Fri, 08 Jan 2010 20:47:00 GMT

Wouldn’t it be nice to install Nozbe web app as a stand-alone app on your computer? I’ve learned that many of my users are already doing this so I did it myself this week and wanted to make it really simple for the rest of us.

Basically this means that one dedicated browser window is now an app. It’s really cool and most of all, helps prevent distractions. Plus, since Nozbe’s interface doesn’t rely a lot on Forward/Back browser keys, it works very well.

If you’re on a Mac, get Fluid
If you’re on a PC, get Prism

Update: In the comments Mickey Mellen noted that if you’re using Google Chrome browser you can just click on menu “File” and then “Create Application Shortcut” to do the very same thing.

Here’s the step-by-step process:

1. Download a high-res Nozbe icon from here – just “save image as…”

2. If you’re on a Mac, install Fluid, open it up and use this info:

URL: http://www.nozbe.com/account/index
Name: Nozbe
Location: Applications
Icon: Other… and choose the high-res icon you’ve downloaded in step 1

If you’re on a PC, get Mozilla Prism and use the same data as above:

3. Enjoy!

The Nozbe web-app will be created and you’ll be able to use it, add it to your dock or desktop and launch it to get more done!

Thanks for everyone who sent this in, I’m enjoying my Nozbe.app on my Mac and I’m hoping this small tip will also make you more productive when using Nozbe every day.

P.S. And as tomorrow is weekend, good luck with your Weekly Review if you haven’t done one yet.

Magic Arrow is back! Add actions, notes and files to the top and... bottom

Wed, 06 Jan 2010 12:45:00 GMT

Back in the Nozbe Classic days we’ve had a Magic Arrow – a feature almost no one knew about since it was placed in a little unfortunate spot.

We didn’t implement it in Nozbe 2.0 but I was missing the arrow… or rather missing the solution the arrow gave me to this problem:

What if I sometimes want to add my actions to the TOP and sometimes to the BOTTOM of my list?

When you add an action in Nozbe, it goes by default to the top of the list. And usually it’s good. But sometimes not really.

Magic Arrow changes direction

Just click to “add action” in Nozbe and you’ll see a new arrow on the left side of the input box:

By default the arrow is pointing “upwards” to let you know that the action you’re about to add will appear on top of your task list.

Click on the Magic Arrow to change direction!

When you click on the arrow, it magically changes into an arrow pointing “downwards”:

Now every action you add appears at the bottom of the list. Like magic!

Additional cool things about the Magic Arrow:

It works for actions, notes and files so you can decide if you want to add stuff to the top or to the bottom of your list
It works across Projects, Contexts and Next Actions – full flexibility there!
It all happens with a click of the mouse, no settings, no additional clicks, you decide when stuff goes up and when it goes down

Hope you like our Magic Arrow

We’ll be brining lots of refinements and cool features you’ve been asking us about over the course of January to make sure you can get a lot done right at the beginning of this new year.

Happy New Year (and a productive one at that) everyone!

Affiliate Showcase: Mickey Mellen

Wed, 23 Dec 2009 15:49:00 GMT

It’s almost Christmas and it always reminds me how I’m blessed to run a piece of web-based software that touches positively so many people around the world and helps them be productive… and in the meantime I’m making really great friends around the globe – and with these friends we can share our common passion for productivity.

Today I’d like to present you one of such friends:

Mickey Mellen from Marietta, near Atlanta GA

Mickey has been a great supporter of Nozbe for quite a while now:

his valuable feedback helped us a great deal during Nozbe 2.0 launch (see his comments)
he wrote a comparison review of Nozbe and other similar app where he highlighted the main benefits of using Nozbe – flow and logical approach to Getting Things Done
and now he wrote about his task management with Nozbe vs other apps as a part of his Organize Your Digital Life series on his blog.

I really encourage you to read the Organize Your Digital Life series and subscribe to Mickey’s blog and follow Mickey on Twitter – his passion for productivity and getting things done gives me personally a boost to try harder and do better for Nozbe.

Thank you Nozbe Community! Heard about our special announcement?

Thu, 26 Nov 2009 14:14:00 GMT

Happy Thanksgiving!

This is our third Thanksgiving as a Nozbe Community and it’s great to be thankful to so many people for so many things.

1. I’m really thankful to my team for making the Nozbe 2.0 happen – it’s been a long development time and the first days weren’t all that shiny, but the app is 5 times faster than the previous iteration and we keep on improving it.

2. I’m thankful to you – our Nozbe community for your support, dedication and help to make Nozbe what it is today – one of the top productivity applications in the world.

3. I’m thankful to you again – for being a Nozbe user, for being the reason why we’re doing this every day and why we love our job so much – creating a productivity tool so many folks are using is a great feeling.

... and to thank you we’ve got a surprise for you!

Today I sent an email to all of you my Nozbe users about a cool new feature we’ll be introducing this December.

We actually have already implemented the feature and you can use it when you log in to Nozbe, but I won’t announce it until December on this blog.

Did you hear the news?

If not, follow me on Twitter and I will follow you back right away. DM me (send me a direct message) and I’ll send you the info.

And we’ve got a special Thanksgiving offer!

Along with the new announcement we’ve got a special thanksgiving/black Friday savings for you, so make sure you’ve received an email from me today. If not, DM me on Twitter

Happy Thanksgiving and again, thanks for making Nozbe what it is today.

- Michael (founder)

P.S. How do you like the new feature?

Send actions with comments from email straight to Nozbe!

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 21:37:00 GMT

If you’ve followed Nozbe long enough, you know that our support for email in Nozbe has been constantly improving the way you get things done with email.

My last post is here where you can learn how to send actions and notes in one email to a Nozbe project

There is always a room to improve.

Recently we’ve been optimizing more and more processes in our company and we’ve been thinking how to use Nozbe for customer support.

We started with this – our customer support team is sending emails with special cases to our new “NozbeSupport” project with the problem content and the action required.

However, the action appears in actions section and the rest of the email in the notes section. Not that good, should be better integrated.

Introducing sending to email as a comment, if only one action in the email

So whenever you’re forwarding an email to a Nozbe project with only one action below it, just like this:

The action will be added to the proejct with the very email body as its comment:

Should the email contain more than one action, it’ll be saved in Nozbe just as it was before – actions to actions and email body to notes.

Conclusion?

if you’re sending email body with ONE action – the action is being added to Nozbe with the email body being added as a comment to this action.
if you’re sending email body with MORE actions – the actions are being added to Nozbe with the email body being added as a note to the project you’re sending this to.

Hope you’ll like this implementation of Email to Nozbe and it will help your group get more done and will help Nozbe serve you better.

Thanks for making Nozbe better and giving us your feedback!

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 19:06:00 GMT

We’re always busy improving Nozbe and working hard on making it great, but I never on this blog emphasized enough how much you – our users – are giving us quality feedback.

We keep on receiving great emails from you every day that help us make Nozbe better. Thank you!

It’s just so great to have such an active Nozbe community where I can almost “rely” on my users that if we do something wrong, or differently than it should have been, I’ll surely receive an email from you.

You show you care and it’s the best reward I can get from my users! Thanks!

In this post I’d like to quote some of the great feedback we’ve recently received and thank to the contributors:

1. Mateo Carli

Matteo is a security expert (check out his blog linked above) and he pointed out a while ago we’ve had some XSS (Cross Site Scripting) vulnerabilities in Nozbe – nothing major that would get the data out, but something that could affect the way Nozbe performs and that could lead to a security hole in the future.

He pointed out exactly what the problem was and we’ve managed to quickly fix this.

Matteo – thanks for your help and for making Nozbe even more secure!

2. Countless Email suggestions (sent to our email: questions AT nozbe DOT com)

We’re receiving many suggestions, bug reports and feature requests via email and we’d like to thank everyone who sent them in!

Above all we’d like to thank:

Andy Barnes
Bart Epstein
Paul Dworianyn
Russ Broomell
John-Paul Bogers
Juan Viera
Surcy Peoples
and many more our users who keep on sending us emails with great feedback…

3. We’ve got a very active forum where you can talk to other Nozbe users and where our support staff is also active.

... and we’ve got great users very active in the forums and I’d like to thank among others:

Chris Shaul
Frank Martin
Reid Williams
Esther Gokhuke
and other great forum users – thanks everyone!

4. We’ve got our blog! that you’re presumably reading right now, and we’ve got great users commenting here and sending their feedback directly to us.

We encourage you to comment more and let us know what you think – we’ll try to make sure the posts will be more frequent (2 times per week) and we hope you’ll also comment and let us know what you think.

Special thanks to these guys:

Brian Tait
Paul Campbell
Juan Ros
Mickey Mellen
Dale McConkey
and many others for your comments and direct feedback.

If I missed someone, I’m sorry, didn’t mean to, and appreciate your feedback all the same!

Thanks everyone for being so active and creating a great Nozbe community and hope to all that we can get things done… together!

To finish this up, we’ve got great announcement for you for next week and I’m sure you’ll love it, it’s a special feature many of you will really love… keep an eye on us and let’s stay in touch! Thanks everyone!

Invitation to my new personal blog - Internet Business Productivity

Fri, 30 Oct 2009 22:58:00 GMT

Just before the weekend I managed to set up my new personal blog at:

MichaelNozbe.com

As you can see I used the same domain name as my Twitter name:

@MichaelNozbe

Anyway, I encourage you to check it out and subscribe to my feed

This Nozbe blog will continue to be updated, but over at the new blog I’ll talk about three things:

Internet Business Productivity

- the three most important things I care about in my professional life – it’ll be a hub of all the things I do online and all of my work-related thinking.

The cool thing is that I’m using posterous service as my blogging platform which means I’ll be just sending emails to post to my blog. Sweet.

Anyway, hope you’ll drop by, subscribe and let me know what you think, my goal is to crank at least 2-3 posts per week. We’ll see how it goes.

Aah? And are you following me on Twitter? 4000+ people are already!

Last night we shipped a few small enhancements and tweaks to Nozbe and after a demo I gave to the GTD Virtual Study Group I realized how much the Draggnig and Dropping in Nozbe is an under-valued feature and how “moving stuff around” helps me every day to get my list right.

I decided to record this short video showcasing the powerful Drag and Drop features of Nozbe:

I think it’s time for a more advanced video uncovering the cool new features of Nozbe 2.0 as well as those that have been redesigned from 1.0:
