The Divide Platform by enterproid
This is interesting, User profiles now available for android.
Another use I can think of: My profile, serious work, and my kids’ profile, for when they want to play with my phone.

With multiple profile support, great productivity apps out of the box and complete personal and IT cloud management, Divide is the next generation solution for enterprise mobility.

Cool service, interesting take on URL shortening and sharing.
Wonder what their business model is?

Less of it
Nice quote, I totally agree with it.
“No matter how beautiful, no matter how cool your interface, it would be better if there were less of it.”
Alan Cooper.
So today as an exercise, I bumped this site’s theme from 0.97 to 0.98. Mostly minor changes to reduce clutter. Added some color to the links to improve usability. Some minor changes to improve multi-language support.
Still far from beautiful and cool…
