Can DesktopX Do This?
Saturday, July 29, 2006 by joeKnowledge | Discussion: DesktopX
On TechCrunch they were talking about this application that sits on your desktop and it filters info from many sources.
Here is the link:

I'm just wondering cause I do not know that much about coding (just enough to do simple C+ and VB) but I saw on TechCrunch and I thought, "Can't DesktopX do that?"

Hey guys - I'm the co-founder of Touchstone so I thought I might join the thread (a bit late i'm affraid) 
JoeKnowledge, DesktopX can display data from many sources, but it can not sort and rank those items based on your personal Attention Profile and then use escalating alerts to get your attention.
Citizen, your ebay gadget sounds great, perhaps you might consider making it a Touchstone input adapter so that you can:
a) Take advantage of it's sorting/ranking/caching
The output adapters that do all the work for you in terms of presentation and routing
c) Win an XBOX 360
