@consumenivas @TickTickTeam @nozbe Sticking with @TickTickTeam still :-) Will soon write a detailed Blog post on how I use it

Google’s new ‘Verified Calls’ feature will tell you why a business is calling you – TechCrunch https://t.co/CsfRXwld8x | Such a simple and useful idea. Just the Telcos never implement such stuff though they have all these in their backlog.

Feature request: A way to nudge me to listen when certain keywords are spoken in a meeting that I am only pretending to listen.

Would love to know your thoughts on this Prof. @tammyerickson :-)

Note-taking apps (or general 'editing' apps - even Word) should have a one-click font color change option. This selection should continue even as I move around the page and make updates. This will help when I review a doc, or add notes to an existing doc during a meeting.

The “India” thesis https://t.co/8kYUWAbUnN | I argue why the investment of companies like FB and other marquee investors in Jio will not work-out in the long term. And also explain why.

The latest Chinese app ban made me revisit the old collection I had done on all digital services for India, and make an update.
Any good readings on this topic? @sajithpai @HalfRebel

https://t.co/YgZck1JnuP | Why, Medium, why? You make a substandard product after there are much better ones? Such trust I had in you when you started. Sigh.!

An @a16z article said "If you’re a founder, now is the time to rise to the occasion", which made me think this. Not to annoy/irritate (or being a smart alec). If someone is a 'founder', they have already 'found' something. We need a 'finder' to build things now! <>

[Karthik Srinivasan @techynotions]

Idly wondering:
Why do we call entrepreneurs 'Founders' and not 'Finders'? After the start a company (and hopefully build something for someone), they become 'founders' but when they start, they are 'finders', no? +

@Vjeux @gabdoulsalim @nanot1m @excalidraw @DavidKPiano Well, how do you Click-Click-Click...? I am confused :) I only know of a site by that name.

I cannot decide if I should add to playlist or not. So I go to episode details, then decide on this. Now, I need to come back one step for the next episode and continue the process. Instead, allow me to swipe to the next episode form the details page. Will be a big UX improvement

[Karthik Srinivasan @techynotions]

Hey @Google One thing that keeps me from using Google Podcasts app is: When I go through the list of episodes to add to my playlist for the day, I get a very short description of the episode. +

[Karthik Srinivasan @techynotions]

@theChinaDude Manoj, I am not able to find this in Google Podcasts. Will you please have it added? Thank you :)

[Karthik Srinivasan @techynotions]

On a lighter note, instead of all these wave forms analyses, they should just use what they do in Gmail Smart compose system and add words by itself when things are missing. That way, we can actually throw in an expletive during a heated call and blame it on the AI ;-)

A good real-world useful application of AI this, where it is deep inside that no one would know there is "AI" in this.
