Noah
http://www.gen-9.net/
Noah is the first application to free your information from the separate "data islands" of your browser, email client, contact manager, file folders, schedule and RSS feeds. Noah bridges these currently divided data sources and makes it all accessible from a single interface. And your data is always available, online or offline.
Imagine being able to find an email, a website, or a business presentation that's years old with a few clicks. Now imagine finding all of these items, and more, associated with a specific business trip, or project all at the same time and displayed on a single screen. That's the power of Noah.
