You’ve all heard the rumours, now hear the official lowdown. This is the first time you’ll get a glimpse inside of Wunderkit.

6Wunderkinder, the people behind the amazing productivity software Wunderlist give us a glimpse into the next level of collaborating. Forget about Yammer and Remember The Milk, the future is about to arrive.

The waiters seemed only to remember orders which were in the process of being served. When completed, the orders evaporated from their memory.

Another “pledge yourself” service.

While I think putting your money where your mouth is, is a very good motivator. But to make money off of people doing that is just wrong…

If you go off track, you pledge money to stay on the road the next time, and if you go off track, we charge you.

Another one…

• Invest $21 towards your 21-day challenge
• Check-in every day to track your progress
• Each day you succeed you get $1 back
• Each day you fail (or if you don’t check in for 3 days) you forfeit $1, which 21habit donates to one of severalcharities.
• Stop your habit or start a new habit at any time
• Withdraw remaining funds (anything not forfeited) at any time

Most important benefit I’ve found:

Notebook übergeekiness:
