I agree and think that vimeo 1min video makes it look fairly stupid, at least to me. > > ,----[ https://thoughtback.com/ ] > | Put Something In > | > | Enter something in that you find important.

Regardless of what it is, I think there are better ways. - if it's learning material... use something proven to work like spaced repetition methods/software (anki, mnemosyne, etc.) - if it's GTD stuff, isn't that what calendaring (deadlines, scheduling) is for? I wouldn't want important stuff coming back *randomly*! - I *could* see the point with inspirational messages or something, but think that spaced repetition could do that just as well I guess I'm just not sold on what, exactly, makes it useful except for being a bit new/different and perhaps allowing interaction via the web/mobile devices.
