Please make my brain work better. I need a way to organize information that I come across online, get control of my schedule and find a way to manage my general learning process. Maybe a mix of bookmarking, google calendar and anki, with some event discovery thrown in. Then add some Tinder style social functionality so I can get a date or meet new friends. I wouldn't be able to throw money at you fast enough.

What is it about the current solutions that leave you cold? It sounds like google calendar, anki, evernote and Tinder could all work together to do exactly what you suggest. I'm curious what you think is missing, the X factor that another solution would be able to address?

  None of those things are integrated, they don't fit into my daily routine and they're overkill for my versions of the problems that they solve. I want a toothbrush solution, something I check 3 or 4 times a day and benefit from using. I don't need four toothbrushes, and I don't want to have to learn to use four different products. I just threw those examples together in order to illustrate the idea that I have too much information for my puny brain to keep track of. I'm sure that there are apps to solve every information management problem that a person could have, but using all of them would create the new problem of learning to use and maintain N different apps.

In regards to "bookmarks", I know guys working on a new tool called "Marvelogs" http://marvelogs.com http://marvelogs.com - They're keeping all your likes, favorites, follows etc from various web services (e.g. YouTube, Instagram, GitHub, BitBucket etc) and putting them in a single place. Really like the concept.
