ThinkFold organizes people’s thoughts, ideas, tasks, and projects using a simple and straight-forward outline format. Much like desktop software, users can drag and drop information to adjust and organize tasks. However, the best feature of ThinkFold is not its drag and drop simplicity, but its real-time updating of information. As an example, if you reposition an item on your screen, your co-worker will see the changes made immediately.

If the internet is full of one thing, it’s full of people who spout their opinions. In fact, this can make the internet quite an ugly place sometimes. People use the anonymity of the internet to throw a barrage of negative criticism all across the web. So a site like Nice Critic is an interesting proposition in this hyper-critical environment. Nice Critic is a service that users can employ to send anonymous nudges of criticism to other people. An example of a Nice Critic note is, “Washing your hands after using the restroom is a wonderful way to not spread germs.” There isn’t a great way to convey this message without irking a person to some degree, so Nice Critic aims to let people down easy.
