00:20 Jason Atwood: Pick and review. CloudFocus Weekly is brought to you by Compliance L locker, by Arkus. Capture all chatter posts, deletions, and files available for free on the AppExchange. Take it for a spin at compliance-locker.com. I'm your host, Jason Edward, and- joining me is co-host 170 times in the bag, or not yet, but soon, is just what you're doing today.
Justin Edelstein: I'm great. We should have called it the SmartyGrow week. I guess. It's Mardi Gras week. We're going to Noraleons after Mardi Gras. No Mardi Gras happens today.
Jason Atwood: I know but we're going like three days later. Oh that's terrible.
Justin Edelstein: It's great. Everyone will be gone. Oh so the clean ups are going to be terrible. No they'll be clean. Alright. I'm really clean.
Jason Atwood: That's true. Noraleons is never really clean. So we are doing, hey fans from Noraleons how are you doing? See you Thursday. See ya. Friday, Thursday night. So we're doing a special episode. Very special episode. We have not done this before, but I figured for the 170th time that we would do something a little special. What I suggested to Justin here, for the listening audience, is that we look back. take a step back. Do do do do do do do do. And we look at, we go over our picks from last year. So all 2013 picks and we find the gold nuggets, the Hoffman, I guess not this season, And then we find that.
Justin Edelstein: You're not the type to like talk about TV shows But you kind of just did.
Jason Atwood: The dirt. No, you, you didn not no, I didn disadvantism much to go on like what you, you should- a that things that I a use. I just don't use either don't use or use and then thought Let's go worst to best.
Justin Edelstein: So we're going to do a top worst. Let's do the top worst and then we'll come back to the good ones. I also might have grown from 2000. Well that's not good. Alright so you want me to start? What's your maybe from social., of of of and So I, so I'm going to pick that.
04:34 Jason Atwood: That's why I I a, Three months never used it. But mister music. Yeah. I, to do. We can do a whole but we both went to some shows this last week, haven't we? We actually go My wife's very I like them to I'm not as in like with a little lady.
Justin Edelstein: She's We from a family We should just get them to go we'll go right?
Jason Atwood: We's all rocky it was terrible what you would imagine Rocky would be on Broadway would start today ever note list to track all the plays I've terrible I just never thought about it we never even used it and I'm now going to Broadway stuff about it. We never even used it. I've gone to Broadway stuff a ton And we never used it, so. All right.
Justin Edelstein: Next up is a hardware pick. Oh, which we both have and have probably never used. High call by high fun. These are the Bluetooth gloves that the to M that connect to your phone that allow you to.
Jason Atwood: You it moved from my next to my next to my next to my a next to the closet I
Justin Edelstein: Wore I've worn them As gloves because they're actually decent gloves and they have the conductor fingers which I like in my winter gloves yes But the actual like the purpose by making them was that oh they're Bluetooth Then they connect to your phone and you can answer your phone with your glove and not take your phone out of your pocket It's just it's a you've never done it once did even do yeah to see that it worked Okay, and then I don't think I ever did it again because sticking your finger in it Well, it's like if you- like all bundled up, right? Yeah, you're all bundled up This would be the season you're at a football game or you're just you just got tons of clothes on and your phone's like Deep in a pocket or you know bag or something And you hear it ringing or feel it ringing and you don't feel like getting in there and taking your gloves off and all that stuff You just press a little button and start talking.
Justin Edelstein: I thought it was a great idea. Yeah, it is a great idea It's just the practicality of it is Is just isn't there so okay. I'm putting it on my loser list Okay, all these winners and winners and losers. I thought you're not losers though. I'm sure it's a great great thing They're good gloves.
Jason Atwood: This one is going to seem a little,
Justin Edelstein: And this might not. Don't do it, man. I'm going to do it.
Jason Atwood: Salesforce for Evernote. I don't even know what that is. It was all this hype around Salesforce and Evernote, and they could be worked together, and there's something, it's an integration.
07:43 Justin Edelstein: And what do you mean? Isn't it the Salesforce one?
Jason Atwood: Yeah. And I just, I don't know. I'm picking it because I just it never I'm... I'm a huge Evernote user, I'm a huge Salesforce user, and this thing can't even get me interested enough to actually try it or install it. That's kind of a shame. You're also a big Dropbox user. A huge Dropbox user. And you're not interested in that either. No. So Salesforce for Evernote, I'm sorry. All right. Worst pick because again, it's never even got me to do anything about it. It's one of those. picks that you just pick and then never. Like one of the, one of your millions of picks where you're like, I've never used this app. I've never, I've never, almost every pick. Everyone's pick is as bad as the last one.
Justin Edelstein: So here's another one that I never really use. This was a, I thought this would be really cool. And then I never use it ever. Twitter music. Do you ever use Twitter music? Like they just launched this thing and like I never even use it. I think they're shutting it down. Yeah they should. I don't think anyone uses it. It's just not good. So I thought it'd be cool. Just never went anywhere, you know?
Jason Atwood: This is kind of like us coming clean. This is depressing. Man we break a lot of really crappy apps. It's like Twitter music. I have it. Yeah. I have it. I used your,
Justin Edelstein: Speaking of music apps, I used the one that you recommend all the time, Songza.
Jason Atwood: Oh, did I just ruin something? No, it was number six. It was the one I deleted.
Justin Edelstein: On the winner list. It was on the winner list. Because I used it the other day. I was running in the gym. And I have like a running... Someone chasing you? No, I was on the treadmill. They would have caught me very easily. And that's what we're going to do today. And I have a playlist so I can like my running playlist. I'm like, ah, this is like all my music. I just want like a variety or something. So I'm like, hmm, Pandora. I'm going to give this songs a try. So I hop into songs and I'm like, it's like, what are you doing? I'm like, I'm running. So it gave me like the running mix the problem is it doesn't really know me very well So it's playing all this. Oh, yeah that like I don't really and you only get so many skips So I like got to the limit of songs out very good through through kind of like within 15 minutes, and.
Justin Edelstein: And then I was like, stuck on the treadmill with Music I didn't listen to right,. But you can't do the band while you're running. Well, the idea was good though. The idea behind it's great It's just I'm not a big pop music guy and it was playing very recent hip hop music that I just kind of wasn't getting me. Like Michael Jackson's beat it? It wasn't getting me where I needed to be with the music. But a good one and an honor.
Jason Atwood: Well, doing that in the gym is that if you look around, you might see one of the founders of Songza who works out in the gym a lot walk in. Maybe. Because he lives in our building. So that's always fun. It's pretty cool. Cool. I've literally been sitting there listening to songs that he walks in. I'm like, hey, I'm listening to your I don't say that. But I do see him and he's big, big, big dude. Oh, yeah, he's like maybe he's like small and big, not round, but like like me. No, no. OK, it's sort of like you, but not at all. Not at all. Small. That's it. That's all we have in common. Busy. Oh, not what's app? No, and it's the app that tells you you can pick a It's for terminal wait lines for TSA wait lines So cool right you go in you see what does it not work I went to an airport I literally on the way the airport looked it said yellow 20 minutes, whatever.
11:26 Jason Atwood: I got there the lines were like 400h
Justin Edelstein: 400 hours long data And then I went,
Jason Atwood: We waited, we went 45 minutes in and I was like, yeah, you're done. It's still on your phone now. It is. I haven't deleted it, but what's busy. You get a, from me.
Justin Edelstein: You should have incorporated sound effects into this. We still have not incorporated, maybe 370. We've never b done sound effects. We've only done like a handful of interviews and we we do have an opening theme song though That's cool. We do and closing theme song and the closing theme song
Jason Atwood: That some people sound says sounds like inappropriate movies I think it does, but I like it for that reason. all right.
Justin Edelstein: My next one's a game that I saw it would be like my next big addicting game. Oh, is this a recent one? No, no, no, no, no, no. This is a recent one. Come on, man. That's on my other list. It can't be, you just picked it this year. It's on you. I can't. Yep. Sorry. Get a new one. Well, you can't veto it now. It's on my list. It's 2-13. Don't care. 20-13. Ah, super paper pool. So this is a game that it's kind of like mini golf but with a pool cue. Oh yeah. It was fun for a while and then it was like just got boring and I just stopped playing it. Like games on the games are fickle on the phones and the and the tablets because they're They're kind, like you get hooked on them for a little.
Justin Edelstein: But then that's kind of all they are like they don the better. Like, like they have to really have a game that that like gets better I has different versions, versions or what have you to really do good. Totally true. Like you think about all the crazes and the fads like what's the one now? Candy Crush to everyone. Just go on the subway and it's like everyone's just staring at their home playing the Candy Crush. Well, there's also the flappy bird one and all those things. Angry birds happened and then yeah, I mean, and it'll be another one like six months from now that everyone will be playing. You just have to catch the wave, man. Once you get the wave, catch the wave and hope single buys you for like lots and lots, money.
Justin Edelstein: And then you then you just go belly up. I thought it was a bad game.
Jason Atwood: I mean, it was it was fun, but then it. It didn't hold my attention like but none of the games that you play hold your attention. It's not true What do you still play?
Justin Edelstein: What game you've played for two years straight K Oh a lot of the flick games. Yeah, you love those Like the flick soccer flick football, I
Jason Atwood: Love those flick games All right, hopefully though they weren't picked last year So I actually looked over all of your pics too. So mine is so I've I've made years ago. I don't think last year but years ago. I made some a pic called Arrow, Arrow TV, Aereo TV.
Justin Edelstein: The one that I rallied against.
Jason Atwood: And now it's gone to like, you know, it's in Chicago. They're actually doing great. But there's another competitor called Nimble TV that came out. And I remember picking it. And it was supposed to be similar, but you had a cable subscription. So it's basically Arrow, which was just taking off the waves, but it was a cable subscription. So you had like, so like you had. cable somewhere else and you paid. So then you could watch cable stuff like watch ESPN.
14:43 Justin Edelstein: Right, it was like a satellite, like a mini satellite dish. Yeah, but anyway,
Jason Atwood: It stopped working. The website went down. You couldn't get into it. You said they're doing well. No, the Aero was a little nimble TV. Not doing well. Oh, gotcha I gotcha. Aero was doing fine. Okay,
Justin Edelstein: I actually still. Right nimble. I think I signed up. for the beta and then it was like, we want your credit card. And I'm like, you're in beta. I'm not giving you my credit card or something like that. So that's my second, second to worst app.
Jason Atwood: All right. What's your first worst app?
Justin Edelstein: I see. I feel like I'm cheating because these are definitely, this is definitely a 2014 pick, but I don't care. and I just picked it like two months ago, maybe a month ago. Field trip by Google.
Jason Atwood: This was like a last minute. This was not. I got to pick this. This wasn't this year. Field trip that was last year. Last year.
Justin Edelstein: It's just I don't use it ever. It's not useful. So it's not a bad thing. It's just not a bad thing. I just don't use it. I gave I gave what I thought was an interesting pick and it's not that interesting. I just don't use it at all. Like you don't walk outside and pop open field trip and be like, what's going on around here? That's interesting historically. And.
Jason Atwood: No, it doesn't happen. That's my bad list. That's your bad list. Field trip, I don't use it. I have it. I just started it up just to see. The one I have used recently that's sort of like one of the, it's a little bit like that, is when you go into iTunes, there's a thing that says like... around you, like being used or bought around you. I just click on that just because I'm interested, like, because in my neighborhood, I'm like, who's, what apps are the people using around me in my neighborhood? And sometimes I found one that was like a local, our local yoga studio has their own app. And so it was being used. So that actually kind of like I got. t you said that I can appreciate that my worst one and you're gonna definitely your worst one go on this is the way it could be the worst app of all time.
Jason Atwood: Oh yeah really think of the worst after we pick the one that we installed and then we both were using it right this is cool and then it blew crap up and we had to like it. Sent us into a scurry. We had to figure to figure out what was going on, we had to figure out what was going on, we had to figure out what was going on, we had to figure out what was going- We had to delete it, stop it, it was nasty. I remember this. Actian apps. That's right. It's called Actian apps, or Actian actions, whatever. It's made by Pervasive, or formerly Pervasive Actian.
Justin Edelstein: This was Bad News Bears.
Jason Atwood: They released it and they talked about it. We saw it at a conference. and the idea was that you could... Basically set up alerts on certain things happening in your org and you set up on your mobile phone and then it would send you Alert to it say like if you said anything any stage of an opportunity that goes from X to Y send me an alert Yeah, any new a notification platform?
Justin Edelstein: It allowed you to build queries and then it notified you on the phone But it chewed through your APIs.
Jason Atwood: It literally just would sit there and pound your APIs and lock this out of our org. Two users. Yes, both of them. And it locked us out of... No, I mean we used up enough API just by both of us using it and locked us out acting, acting actions or acting app, whatever, acting, don't act it. Don't use it.
17:58 Justin Edelstein: Very bad. Maybe, and maybe they fixed it. But I have to imagine they did.
Jason Atwood: That was terrible. That one I remember being like, this is actually blowing up my Salesforce org. Alright.
Justin Edelstein: Alright. Those were the winners. The winners. Or the losers. Here come the winners. Oh, here come the winners.
Jason Atwood: Number 5 of your best of 2013 but you didn't read the instructions or pay attention, 14.
Justin Edelstein: I think there's only one in here from 2014. Okay. And you know it already because I said it... Dark Sky. Dark Sky. Was that a 2013 pick? Yeah, I went through it. I went through it. Yeah, it's 2013. Oh, okay. Dark Sky is still... They keep improving it as a weather app. I was just about to say, don't like the new design. I like it because now it... is more comprehensive as a weather app than it used to be, which was just like, is it going to rain when I walk outside? It's still great for visualizing the weather, but now they have like a five day forecast. They have a currently, you can see what the, you can see both on a radar, you can see temperature changes and humidity changes, which are kind of interesting.
Justin Edelstein: And it's still my like go to weather app for me because it's gotten more comprehensive so I really enjoyed the dark sky it's a really interesting way to look at the weather.
Jason Atwood: I love the I don't know there's something about the old one in the way that like the map wavy the wave and the map was worked together I don't like the way this is done as well. The one thing I do like is this feature where you can go to any one day and it'll show you the hours along the day. It's much more comprehensive than it used to be.
Justin Edelstein: But it does not even get close. Don't, don't just bring up another pic just cause you want. You don't get to squeeze other pics in. I mean, no, this is so much better. You don't get to squeeze other pics in. I don't care what that is. Yeah. Anyway, Sam Marissa Myers Marissa Meyers doing a good job over there with mobile stuff.
Jason Atwood: She's done two apps that I've done all the time. They're both picks this year so I can't talk about them.
Justin Edelstein: Because I pay attention. But next year I can pay attention. Well, you're the one who made the rules. And you're the one who didn't read them. And I'm the one who's breaking them.
Jason Atwood: So I actually picked this this year, and it's still something I play. We're talking about games that I get that, whatever. I'm gonna pick this one but I'm gonna talk about another game that I'm currently playing. Wait, no! No! Such a cheater. Super extra. Super cheater. Super extra. Diggy time? Super cheater.
Justin Edelstein: I can't believe the amount of cheating that is happening right now. No, I'm giving the listeners more for what they paid for. They haven't paid anything. Well, bandwidth. with.
Jason Atwood: So Kingdom Rush. Frontiers which I've picked last year. I love Kingdom rush. I still play there's Kingdom rush. There's a game pick Yes, okay. There's Kingdom rush and there's Kingdom rush frontiers. They're two different games But they're basically one's a sequel to the other but I still play them both I still go in and because they're the company still updates them still put out They'll be like new levels new levels new boards new sections and like new Yeah, sometimes there's things to buy like you can buy the whatever, you know the heroes or something But I'll go in and I'll just play them still and I enjoy it and I love the game It's a tower defense game.
21:16 Justin Edelstein: It's my favorite game Love the tower does the Oregon Trail exist as an iOS game? I think it does it should should shouldn't it? You wouldn't play that though. Yeah, I would I love the Oregon Trail when I was a youngster. All right, you done there. I'm done Coming in fourth coming in fourth an app that we both thought was really cool We still both think that it's cool. I don't know if you do I do and still very useful Run P Remember run P still have never I used it once. never used it again You never think to use it when you go to the theater Never use it again.
Jason Atwood: All right. Well run pee if you ever use it again. Have you more than once?
Justin Edelstein: I yes and I usually look at it before but also like I Can hold it in so I don't need to go Necessarily like during. A movie like movies only two hours long even some movies Oh, you know me and half the wolf of Wall Street I went and I had a talk back afterwards so I was in the seat for about four hours and I was You know, it's fine. But yeah, Run P, the app that you go, you log in, you look at a movie and it tells you when during the movie is a good time to go to the bathroom. And it gives you a little synopsis of what is happening during the time where you've gone to the bathroom so you don't actually miss anything. I did it. Well, actually use it for that synopsis.
Justin Edelstein: During, I went to see 42. Yeah. And it told me it buzzed. Right, you can set it to... You set the timer, right? And it buzzed and it said, I was like, oh, all right, I can go pee now, because I had to pee. Yeah.
Jason Atwood: And went and read what the... You could stand there in peeing, one hand... Yeah, and just... And then just drop your phone in the... In the urinal. It's a very good idea. I think the only... My only good point about the buzzing thing was that... I usually turn my phone off in the movie theaters. I'm that guy. I turn them off. I don't really wanna be thinking about it. And so you kinda have to leave your phone on and then it's the buzz, but it's the same buzz as when you get texts. And so like, how do you know which buzz is which? Like I'm getting, people were texting me. Whatever,
Justin Edelstein: Anyway. Don't hate on Run P.
Jason Atwood: I think it's great. I mean, the best part is when you say, you can read in advance and it says like, Minute whatever and it says, you know Wendell Carusian will walk into the thing and say get out of here and so you can see yeah Then you can they were on they were on this weekend. Yeah, so then you do that start anyway I think it's a great app. I don't know how they make money going to see all these movies mine is a because last year was also the death of Google Reader. Right. And I replaced it with Feedly.
Justin Edelstein: Are you happy? And I have never looked back. The little lady has done the same. And she also has never looked back. I love Feedly. I use it. I use it every day.
Jason Atwood: I use it just as like it literally it's one of the few times I just moved from one app to the next. And within like a week, I just never even thought about. Read or anymore, I got Feedly. It works. It does everything it, you know, has it got some new features that are nice? Sure. Does it do everything that I wanted it to do? Is there a pro version you can sign up for that I won't do? Of course. But, Feebly, if you are still looking for your Google Reader replacement,
24:36 Justin Edelstein: It still works. It's still great. If you're still looking,
Jason Atwood: You're late. You're late. And you probably don't need it. But then it has you know, obviously it has a iPhone app and iPad app and so you can I remember I used to live
Justin Edelstein: In Like reader like it was like one of the tabs that was just always open reader and I just don't care anymore Yeah all about that. I really do it.
Jason Atwood: I love me. I don't that's not my primary I still use site, which I think I picked two years ago Zeit is still my primary like news in the morning like what I read to figure out what's going on But readers the one I go like feed these on the computers I was I use on the iPad, but if I'm like I got 10 minutes I'm like, oh, let's just check what's going on. We'll check the Jets news. I go into reader Go into my Jets section and there's hundreds of news articles All right, so that's my number four. What's your number three? fine I've still yet to post a vine.
Justin Edelstein: You still look at it? Oh yeah. I follow comedians. Vine comedians. And they're funny. And my sister, who happens to be very funny on it. Amongst other people. So tell me what vine is. Six second little videos that just loop. over and over and over again as you're watching. Did you notice Vine somewhere recently? I did. I was watching the E Grammy pre-show where they had the Vine thing. That was kind of me. It's 360 degrees. It's catching on. It's catching on. You know who's big on Vine? Gary Vee is very big on Vine. Yes, he posts a lot of Vine. A lot of Vine. He answers questions and stuff like that. Very big on that. Don't get like a cadence in in there like like people who are good at it or good at it They know when to pause and start and redo things right?
Justin Edelstein: I find it just like just fun entertainment, right? I use your I'll say vines and it'll be in the worst pick Maybe maybe you know someone a lot the
Jason Atwood: I actually don't go to Vine at all, but on YouTube, once a month, someone posts. Yeah, you can do the best of Vines. The best of Vines. So you take the five minutes, or it's like 10 minute video, and you can just watch that, and it's all the same stuff, and it's just in a big string, and I just watch that, so I don't have to go into Vine. Good. Well, my next pick is something I still use. I feel like is working, but. it. I feel like it's just the beginning of what can be amazing. I'm still waiting for them to kind of make the next step. It's still Paper Karma. So I use, so Paper Karma I've now been using. Quick Paper Karma. So long. Well no, lessons like July, I think I picked it.
Jason Atwood: So Paper Karma is an app for your mobile that you get a... When you get junk mail you go and take, a picture of it and you upload it you tell what address it came to and then They, send a notification to the place i find it works very, well with catalogs Like, my catalogs have dropped down like tremendously i find it works not as, well with junk mail no it doesn't work All junk because i feel like junk mail they don't pay attention or they or they somehow can get around the regulation yeah You're, gonna get that Discover card thing whether you want it or not. RCN actually is the worst. I get so much. I feel like they're like Yeah, you want us to stop? Here's more. I'm gonna send you 17 I once got three in the same and I don't get anything from RCN.
28:01 Justin Edelstein: It's funny. We both have RCN I don't get it. Well, that's the worst part. You know what it might be? Do you have everything via RCN? Or do you have just parts of things?
Jason Atwood: Maybe They can't sell me anything more. No, they can't but yet they keep trying kind of weird I think there's a type of mail that is if it's just to a resident. I don't think you can stop that So it's just like resident of apartment whatever. Yeah, I don't think you can stop that I think it has to be your name. So I think that's how they get around it. Anyway, so I really like it I think I just wish they would There's a couple things I wish, the one thing I really like about is that you can go back and you can see how how many times you've done it. So things like RCN, I can see 17 times. Yeah, you're not getting off their list. But they need something like now escalate or now call.
Jason Atwood: I mean, you can call, but I want to be able to call, maybe I should just try this, they have a number, just call the number and be like, put me on your never ever ever ever list. and then see if that works. All right, so paper karma.
Justin Edelstein: So here's a cheat because this is from 2014.
Jason Atwood: This is your number two. Yep. Quiz up.
Justin Edelstein: Oh man. I love me some quiz up. I love playing quiz up. I like challenging friends in quiz up. I like to get to the levels where you can change your names in certain categories in Quiz Up. I I just forget to play it and then... I don't know. I got to the game to play. You know what? You need me to like drag you back in by challenging you to stuff.
Jason Atwood: I go in there and I see all the stupid challenges. I don't know. Okay. Yeah. I have a game that I'm currently playing and my daughter's friend, our neighbor is playing it. So we're all kind of like because I'm older and better, better at playing games. I'm like, Yeah, I got that a while ago, it makes me feel good. You're just an awful, you're being so what's your number? My opinion. Well, go ahead. Well, my number two is this. It's my hardware pick. Your thing that you're wearing around your wrist. Is my shine. Is my shine activity tracker, which I've now been using for, I don't know, five, six weeks, five, six months.
31:08 Justin Edelstein: Do I need to buy one of these wearables?
Jason Atwood: I really, and so I'll talk about the reason I really like them or this one. I think they all do this now. So it's not really that thing, but. There's something about the game of occasion of your activity that turns it into something that you do more often. Like if you think about your daily activity and how active you've been and something that tracks that for you, that's kind of like it gets you to think about it and it gets you to go. I feel like I need one of these. You should. You should get one. But should I get that one? I really like this one. I mean, I have a couple things I don't like about it, but there's mostly like it... The thing that I really like about it and the thing that I, they're all doing now, so you just have to look, is the sleep tracking.
Jason Atwood: Because one of the things - Yeah, sleep tracking is cool. It tracks your sleep. So you wake up in the morning, you sync it with your iPhone, and then you can go, oh, I slept for seven and a half. So I I slept for eight and a half hours. If I wake up and? Because you just don't remember. What time did I really go to sleep or whatever? But you wake up and you look at it because you know, like you should know that you should get eight hours of sleep. That thing waterproof?
Justin Edelstein: Do you shower with it? Never take it off. Never take it off. Just shower with it. Shower with it. You run with it. Run with it.
Jason Atwood: Get sweaty so then you shower and then I swim with it in the ocean I The battery do last about three months, which is nice, because the other ones have to charge. It sticks them in. So they don't charge, the takes why,
Justin Edelstein: Like a little watch battery deal.
Jason Atwood: And the other thing is the top, it's made of this little aluminum whatever, and it's very small. The reason, actually my number one reason for buying it was to do the thing that I never do with it. I shall do it tomorrow. Which is what? Tomorrow I'm putting on a suit. I'm not going to wear it on my wrist. What I do is I take it and I put it in my pocket. So then I don't have to have this stupid thing on my wrist, which I normally have. It tells time, it does activity. It's cool. And they actually have social parts of it now where where it'll like, yeah, it hooks up to a social like shine world. Yeah, it's pretty good. Shine world. That sounds like a fun thing. on a $99 activity tracker for your wrist.
Justin Edelstein: Here comes number one. This is for New Yorkers.
Jason Atwood: Way too rad. Oh, you know I still haven't used it. Oh well, you are not.
Justin Edelstein: You are not doing stuff.
Jason Atwood: I know when I set up everything. I set up the account, I set up the credit cards, I got it already, and then I forget. Every time you forget.
Justin Edelstein: It's the first thing I do when I get in a cab. I pull my phone out and say, I'm in a cab, and check into the cab. And then I just. turn my phone off, put it in my pocket. And when the cab stops at the front door, I just get out. Out of the cab. It just makes a sound. It goes, doodle, doodle, doodle, and you can see it on the screen. It's like, you're now paying using way to ride. I think it's awesome.
34:18 Jason Atwood: And then I get my email that tells me how much I paid. Have you ever tried to, have you ever tried to hail a cab from our location using it?
Justin Edelstein: No, I have not done that. Okay. Cause you can, right? It's not one of the things you can do. One of the things you can do with it. The thing I do with it is just pay for it. Cause it's just the easiest thing in the universe you get in. I mean, occasionally it has problems. The way it works is you check into the cab. So you say, I'm in a taxi and it pulls up a screen and you hold it up to the speaker or the or the screen right backseat of the cab and it recognizes like the frequency coming out of that and like it starts buzzing and it's like all right you're checked in occasionally that doesn't work but on the screen there's a way to ride button that you press and it gives you a manual entry code so on your phone you could just manually enter the code and then you're checked.
Justin Edelstein: Nice. And then, you could just... Literally, you I don't know, I just threw a percentage.
Jason Atwood: I feel like that's such a, I feel like it's like the delivery thing, right? You order $50 with a sushi and you order a pizza. Pizza's $15. $50 sushi's $50. The guy walks from the same place to the same place. Pizza's harder to carry than sushi is. It's a bag.. Pizza's a big box. But you give the guy who carried the sushi more money than the guy who brought the pizza. It's the same task. You pick me up here and you drop me off there. Why should it be about how much we pay?
Justin Edelstein: Because it's fees, it's about how long of a distance you've traveled.
Jason Atwood: It's also time too. I don't know. If I could sit as a flat, I'd sit as a flat. I think the whole thing is like, You go to the airport and it's like, 57 dollars. I'm giving this guy 20% because we went to the airport. Do whatever you want with your own tipping.
Justin Edelstein: That's my tipping. That's your call. You can override it every time. But wait a ride is a great app.
Jason Atwood: Please remind me the next time I'm in the cab. How am I going to remind you? You're in the cab. I'll be in the cab next Tuesday. Oh, wait. I'll be in the cab. Oh, but it'll be a whatever. I'll be in the cab next Sunday. So remind me. Okay, I'm away back Great do it. All right, cuz I can't wait to try it. You really it's great I really want try I set it up I did the whole even setting up your credit card you take a snapshot of it It reads it really well done. It's very well done and said and it's a New York City thing. Yes. It's great It's very cool. Well, mine is gonna be a little less and and dramatic It is a app I picked last year salesforce one.
37:28 Jason Atwood: It is not salesforce one. It is winter 14 No, it's an app that's actually gotten a lot of, I've seen, because I'm big into this company and big into reading about their stuff, it's an app that I, it's gotten a lot of feedback, some very negative about, some people really don't like this version of it. I actually do bight the version of it and I like lots of features of it. It's for all you GTD fans out there. OmniFocus 2 for the iPhone. I find is really really good. It's obviously iOS 7 looking so it's all different colors and whatever But it does things like automatically sync so it just syncs all the time So it's kind of like can sync in the background you have to kind of worry about it There's some nice views in it for those who are tasked.
Jason Atwood: You know if you're doing your tasks and whatever Also the the makers of OmniFocus OmniGroup who I use all their stuff You know, there was three years between the time that they launched OmniFocus 1, they did tons of updates, and then you bought the next app. They're very careful about that. Yes, you have to pay for the next app, but you own it for a long time, three, four years before they do the next one. In fact, the iPad app is supposed to be coming out soon. Anyway, it's not huge for everybody in the world. I guess what's that what's riding only New Yorkers is either way to ride I guess quiz up is the winner No way quizBups awesome
Justin Edelstein: Everyone should be on quiz up you can friend me on quiz up. I will play you in whatever you want to play We should start a category salesforce category.
Jason Atwood: There should be a salesforce carrier I don't know how to start category says it in there. Do you want to contribute content? Yes I didn't do that. No, we can do it. We gotta put in jets and salesforce Well, we'll do salesforce.
Justin Edelstein: Yeah.
Jason Atwood: Well, that's it you got a creative field No, you have to do like limits like what's the limit of custom fields on a custom object Is it 450? 500? Depends who you are. 550? Is that an answer? Depends who you are. Can you get to the? No. to the, no. All right. That's it for us. We are out of here. That was our special episode. We'll be back next week.
