Today’s information management landscape already offers a great number of excellent platforms for handling specific information types. Typical examples of such platforms, especially for user-generated content, are Youtube, Delicious or Flickr. They all share the same goal: providing an application structure for the management of one specific type of information (Youtube → videos, Flickr → images…). The goal of Remus is not to compete against these applications, but to facilitate and enhance your local information management by providing functionalities to browse through these remote information repositories and to synchronize your data in Remus with the information in other repositories. The advantages in a nutshell:
- Synchronized data is available offline.
- No need for using the platforms website, all synchronization, adding, removing and viewing items can be done with your local Remus client. One application and one user interface for all platforms.
- Moving data between repositories: Just one drag’n’drop to move data from one remote repository to another (e.g. moving a photo from a flickr account to a picasa account).
- High-performing, fast offline search through synchronized data.
- Editing of synchronized data without a connection to the repository.
- Creation of links between information units in different remote repositories. For example, Remus allows users to create an ontological connection between a YouTube video and a Flickr photo.
- Automatic notifications for new or updated data.
