Klipfolio dashboard – the, which lists all your Business data

Most companies and blog owners love to keep pace with their data as Analytics, marketing/sales/revenue, Adsense earnings, etc. Unfortunately, it's a pain to have to sign and from these data sources on the Web, in addition, it is rather time consuming, if you do this several times a day. Klipfolio dashboard aims to be a solution for this and allows you to organize all these data in a single dashboard Web site.

On the site support, says that Klipfolio dashboard "is software that you can use to stay on top of things and things that are the smallest and most versatile Board of the world". You can add to your dashboard, Klips are basically widgets (even if they say that it is smaller and faster than the regular widgets) that keep you updated with all kinds of news, statistics and data. You can create and customize your Klips so that is just how you like them. Klips may even posted on your website or blog and you can also buy individual dashboards for your desktop.

Today, we will look at Klipfolio dashboard running on the Web and is now in beta stage "Trial". Used to create your own Klips and share with friends or colleagues.

You can change the layout for your dashboard Klips. There are 5 layouts to choose from? by default it is configured in a single column.

I already have a tab on your dashboard called "Examples", which you can click to see example Klips. These samples include:

Revenues YTDCurrent RatioQTD RepRegional sales StatusOpportunity QTDBookings – distribution by MonthTweetsStock promotions

You can start adding your first Klip by clicking "add to Klip" in the upper-left corner of the dashboard. Here you can select a premade Klips (such as those mentioned above), or create your own. Building a Klip starts easy, but when I go to edit, this section Gets a bit intimidating depending on the type of the Klip that you create. Let's take a look.

First select which styles of Klip that you would like to start with. You can choose from:

Value – i.e. margin, rations, ROITable – i.e. sales, network condition, pipelineSparkline – i.e. as regards the use of the sites, budget YTD performance chart, trendingPie – survey results, opportunity – breakdownGauge, benchmarksNews – i.e. the RSS feed, Twitter updatesImage – that is, graphs, images, maps, webcams

I decided to go with news in order to keep up with one of my favorite blogs via RSS.

Then you must pick your Klip's data source. This can be a source of shared or stored (such as demos from the library or those shared by colleagues), a new source (such as an Excel file, or XML) or no source at all (if the content is static).

I chose "new source", since I want to get data from an RSS feed. From here you can choose to upload a file (Excel, CSV, JSON, XML) or point to a URL to access the web.

Now is the time to add the source file. After the URL, I was able to add the URL, select the data format and select a refresh rate (from every 30 seconds for each 24 hours). Then, you will need to verify that this is indeed the source you want, and then you can add a name and description for this.

Here is the difficult part. You should go and edit every part of you Klip as the main content, link, author, etc. This is done through data and clicking individual items. You can also enter formulas and text here. Frankly, this section is a bit confusing (and where it should stop), and probably will get some play to tell. You can click on a question mark next to a specific area in order to get help -how to use formulas.

Once here, you must enter a name and a description of your actual Klip and then will appear on your dashboard.

If all this seems a little tedious or difficult to you, then I would recommend using a premade Klip or buying an entire Tableau to meet your needs. While this is certainly a useful tool, actually editing a Klip is something that will not come easily to everyone, and I think this could ever really escape some users.

Keep with your closest friends who uses the social dashboard Geeje

If you're like me, there may be a small group of online friends who you can connect with each social network and you have you become a little like an online family. If Yes, that applies to you, then the Geeje is the ideal tool to help you keep up with the closest online friends.

The concept is quite simple. First, you can create a profile of your friend and then add feeds that apply to them. Do not think that the word "Feeds" like blog feeds if, also applies to social networking profiles. Best of all, you don't need an actual RSS feed to follow. You can simply enter the URL of your blog or social network profile that you want to keep up with and Geeje will do the rest.

Geeje keeps you know, is a noticeboard for close friends and people you follow is to stay connected with people that interest you.

The first is to create a profile for each one of your friends. This is done, I guess, by clicking "add to profile" from the top of your dashboard. You must enter here is a name (real name or nickname will do).

Then, you will need to add URLs to your friends ' profiles by clicking the "Add feed" at the top of the dashboard. As mentioned above, here is the URL of your blog or your friend's profiles (although an RSS feed will work too). You will have to add each one separately, so depending on how many URLs you have for each friend that could take awhile.

The last step is to add to your profile dashboard (where you can keep all your friends at once). This is done by clicking on the "D" which will appear on the right of the names of your friends when you scroll up in the sidebar of the Tableau.

Once you add all the desired profile to your dashboard, you will see that each friend will have their own widgets and widget displays all your feeds together (instead of separately, as in the profile).

This step should be for interaction, but this is not possible within Geeje (not yet anyway). You cannot make any interaction, but you can click on links or icons to go to the original source and interacting there.

Another way to set up your dashboard may be to create a profile on a social network that you want to keep up with, rather than for individual friends.

For example, you could have one profile named Twitter, another called Facebook and another called Google. Then in Twitter could add any URL to your friends so that all Twitter updates will appear within the same widget on your dashboard.

This method allows you to see all the updates from a single source with its own widget, rather than the gross of all.

Finally, let's not forget about the search feature. At the moment seems to allow you to search for profiles or services that you might have added. It would be nice if you could actually search for keywords within your friends updates, but perhaps that is coming soon ….

Personally, I like Geeje because it makes it really easy for me to my circle of friends with thick online. I wish there were slightly more features – primarily a way to interact without leaving the site. However, it is now functional enough to do the work that needs to be done.
