An Emotional Goo Debut

After spending two weeks reviewing "tracking", "task" and "bug" management systems I decided to stick with The Goo. Why?

The other task management systems were too harsh. Is that task priority 87 or 88? What's more none of them tuned in to how people really use them. I don't know about you, but I always end up scouring over the task/bug/project/todo list looking for what I feel like doing next.

So why not create a task management system that lets you tell it what you feel like doing?

Enter the Care-O-Meter. It shows a ranked list of Things you care about that you can assign a care factor to and search by what you feel like doing next. Thanks to Elinks I can access it via the console and the rest of the team at Trexy.com and Turbo10.com can access it from their graphical browsers too!

This is an alpha version so it's not 'industrial strength' like RT. Then again it is designed to be really malleable (i.e., squishy) and thanks to RT's brilliant idea of polymorphic "tickets", it lets you care about lots of different "things" (i.e., bugs, tasks, ideas, pain, projects etc).

Anyway why not see for yourself? Check out the new tour.

Uwe Voelker has even offered to turn it into a Catalyst web application! Stay tuned ...
