I have forwarded information about Gist to many of my business contacts and friends. I have been extremely impressed by this service. This is a recent post mentioning Gist which I found today:

Gist – this one is important, and totally important to how I am using this system to work through the day. What is interesting is how I have ended up setting this system up to cut through the general chatter of real time to focus on people who I am really interested. There are maybe a handful of people who are rated above “90%” or must read now, the majority sits around 50%, and I’ll read it when I have time. Being able to filter for importance in relationship to what I do and who I have to pay attention to is really nice to see, and makes digesting data much easier. With the slider bar system, you can move things around to suit you and the time you have available to you and that is what is making Gist important to me right now, and why it is becoming a daily tool for me to use. I have a number of beta invites that I am sharing with people I work with, and their responses to questions or feedback suggestions is great. They listen when you send up something that might annoy you in the daily use of the system and fix it, today, not in a week or two. As far as beta testing a system goes, this has been one of the more productive beta tests I have been on because there is a constant dialog between the developers and the beta testers. You feel like you are part of the system and that your comments and feedback are at least listened to. That is one of the other reasons that being on the Gist beta has been so much fun, you feel like you are part of the team and are contributing value back to them.techwag.com, TechWag, Aug 2009
