A New Collaboration Tool From Zurb For Website Mockups
Jan 20th
We often write about better tools for how people can collaborate easily, and one of our favorite companies just keeps coming with new ones that now it is hard to keep track of what they have in their portfolio. I guess that is a nice problem to have. Starting this week, Zurb.com launched a new service called Influence. It is useful for quickly collecting remarks and advice on graphics and PowerPoint slide decks. It is a great way to work jointly on website design mockups or presentations for example. “We recognized that presenting design ideas, controlling and making sense of feedback you get was a problem for any freelancer, contractor, or company that is designing products,” they state on their blog post.

Influence can be used in several different situations: You just want a poor man’s Webex without the hassles of setup and still have the ability to make a few comments about screen layouts for example. Or you might want to get a quick “thumbs up” or “thumbs down” on one of your designs, or some detailed annotations on each mockup in your design presentation. All of these are better than the tried and true method of the past: sending email attachments and trying to manage the resulting feedback and email streams and conflicting recommendations. You can see a screen shot of the various choices here:
We have written extensively about the company’s annotation and collaboration tools before, including Notable (for cross-device graphic collaboration), Reel (an alternative to Slideshare), and Verify (for collecting user feedback).
Pricing hasn’t yet been announced but will be similar to Notable: $19/month for basic features and $49/month for premium accounts. You can request an invite to their beta now and try it out for free here. You might want to wait a week or so for the service to settle down: both times we tried to upload a PPT deck and didn’t get very far.

Email Notifications Getting Out of Control? Zap ‘em With This Handy Tool
Jan 17th
The last time you cleaned out your inbox, how many of those emails were auto-generated notifications from social networks and other websites? Unless you’re particularly aggressive about turning off default notifications, it was probably more than a few. You’ve been meaning to get around to going through and changing all those settings, but – oh hey, hang on, there’s another email.
Editing the notification settings on a few big Web services doesn’t sound like a big deal, and in reality it’s not. But in all the digital, real-time chaos of life online, it’s easy to put off. You might zap one when you think of it, but what about the rest of them? Are you really going to sit there, hunt them all down and annihilate them?

It’s with this very basic, but nonetheless undeniable reality in mind that one teenaged entrepreneurial duo set out to create Notification Control. It’s an incredibly simple, single-page Web app that does one thing. It links you to the notification settings panel of many major social networks and websites.
Yes, that’s it. It may seem almost ridiculous that anybody would need such a tool, and it doesn’t pull off any great programmatic feat. But truth be told, simply providing all of those links in one central, command-and-control interface is all many people will need to actually go through and tweak their notification settings in a way that’s more conducive to reducing clutter and preserving sanity.
Notification Control is the brainchild of Ben Lang and Tim Kendall, both of whom are in their late teens. It lists popular services like Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, YouTube, LinkedIn, Foursquare, Pinterest and others and provides a direct link to each one’s notification settings. Naturally, you still need to sign in to each service to access the preferences; There’s no special cross-site authentication magic going on here. Kendall and Lang are just reaching out and helping you do something you swear you were going to get around to doing yourself, eventually. Maybe.
