Hey guys - I'm the co-founder of Touchstone so I thought I might join the thread (a bit late i'm affraid) JoeKnowledge, DesktopX can display data from many sources, but it can not sort and rank those items based on your personal Attention Profile and then use escalating alerts to get your attention. Citizen, your ebay gadget sounds great, perhaps
No that's ok mate! Trusting the gadget is actually a very real concern for us. People are concerned about privacy and your instinct to question Google's principles and by extension our own (because we mention them!) is totally valid.
