Willkommen. Noch Fragen? Schreib uns und wir werden uns die Zeit nehmen alle zu beantworten.

 

Tabbles ist ein Social Data Tagging Tool

– Dateien und URLs mit “tags” versehen (manuell oder automatisch) und mit anderen teilen
– Dateien über ein virtuelles Ordnersystem finden/gruppieren
– Suchergebnisse filtern durch kombination von “tag” A+B
– “tags” mit anderen teilen über LAN oder in der Cloud

 

Wer braucht es?

Jedes Unternehmen und Anwender der Dateien speichert. Diese breite Zeilgruppe findet sich auch in unseren Erfahrungsbreichten.

 

 

Was kommt als nächstes?

Wir arbeiten an einer API die Dritten ermöglichen soll Erweiterungen für Tabbles zu entwickeln, oder Tabbles in ihr Programm.

Die nackten Fakten:

– Gegründet 2009 und August 2009 erstmalige Veröffentlichung
– über 30,000 Downloads (Nov. 2010)
– Geschäftsmodell: Verkauf von Lizenzen
– Bootstrapping
– Das Team:  Andrea D’Intino (Verkauf & Marketing, Co-Gründer), Maurizio Colucci (Entwickler, Co-Gründer), Irma Sta (Legal-Finance, Co-Gründer), Frans Larsen (Entwickler)
– Name bildet sich aus tag + bubble

 

Wie funktioniert es?

Tabbles vereint das Konzept der Tags und virtuellen Ordner: Der Benutzer findet seine Dateien indem er durch dieses Konzept navigiert (nicht durch die Ordner).

Es wird eine Oberfläche über dem bestehenden Dateisystem zur Verfügung gestellt (dabei werden KEINE Dateien verschoben/gelöscht/kopiert). Schlagworte werden in einer internen Datenbank gespeichert und diese kann, teilweise oder ganz, mit anderen Nutzer geteilt werden (funktioniert LAN und  über Cloud Dienste).

Es ist eine Desktop App: Drag&Drop, Copy&Paste, und Tastenkombinationen werden unterstützt.

 

 

Wo liegen die Unterschiede?

Windows Explorer: Erlaubt lediglich das speichern in einer hierarchischen Ordnerstruktur.
Google Desktop: Durchsucht Dateien nach Inhalt. Tabbles Arbeit mit dem vom Benutzer bestimmten Informationen. Woran sich der Nutzer erinnert steht hier im Vordergrund. Seine eigene Assoziation ist bestimmend. Dadurch wird die Suche einfacher und präziser.
Windows 7 Bibliotheken: Erlaubt verschiede Ordner gemeinsamm aufzulisten. Tabbles hingegen arbeitet dynamisch und erlaubt das zusammenfassen von Ordner zu verschiedenen (Gedanken) Systemen. Unabhängig von bestehenden Ordnerstrukturen können die selben Dateien in unterschiedlichen Projekten zusammengefasst werden. 

 

 

Technische Details?

Tabbles ist hauptsächlich in F# und WPF geschrieben. Die Daten sind in einer proprietären, Server unabhängigen XML Datenbank gespeichert. Diese ist im Normalfall nicht gröÜer als ein paar MB.

<p class=“entry” style=“line-height: 1.4em;”><strong>It’s a social data tagging tool. </strong>It does:<strong><br /></strong></p>
<p class=“entry” style=“line-height: 1.4em;”>– Tag files (ultra-fast or automagically) and URLs socially</p>
<p class=“entry” style=“line-height: 1.4em;”>– Find and group files based on virtual folders (tags are used as virtual folders)</p>
<p class=“entry” style=“line-height: 1.4em;”>– See and group all the files in “Tag A &amp; Tag B” and browse them in virtual file system</p>
<p class=“entry” style=“line-height: 1.4em;”>– Share your tagging with colleagues, on LAN or in the Cloud</p>

<p class=“entry” style=“line-height: 1.4em;”><span class=“subtitle”>Who will need it?</span><br /><br />Any company of professional who need create and save files (yes, that’s a large target). Her are some <a title=“Real stories from real users” href=“index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=102:success-stories&amp;catid=30&amp;Itemid=128”>user stories</a>.</p>

<p class=“entry” style=“line-height: 1.4em;”><span class=“subtitle”>How does it work?</span><br /><br />Tabbles<strong> unifies the concepts of  file tag and virtual folder</strong>: users find files by navigating concepts (not folders). It builds a layer on top of the file system (it does NOT move/delete/copy files or folders), it saves tagging  data in its custom internal database and shares it using <strong>shared folders</strong> (works fine with cloud storage services). It’s a desktop app: drag’n’drop, copy’n’paste, keyboard shortcuts work as they should.</p>
<p class=“entry” style=“line-height: 1.4em;”> </p>
<p class=“entry” style=“line-height: 1.4em;”> </p>
<span class=“subtitle”>How is this different from: </span><br />
<p class=“entry” style=“line-height: 1.4em;”><br /><strong>Windows explorer:</strong> it only allows you to store files into regular (hierarchical) folders.<br /><strong>Google desktop:</strong> it reads through files and tries and guess what they’re about. Tabbles works with user-given input, therefore the results of search are much more precise. <br /> <strong>Windows 7 Libraries:</strong> they allow the user to group and show the content of several folders at once. Tabbles creates a virtual files which is unrelated to folders and user can combine “concepts” to see the data they have in common.</p>
