Austin Chang from Fridge
What 3 web services or software can you not live without?
Evernote – i love that you can write stuff once and have it sync with all your platforms AND easily organize/search across different note books
Dropbox – i move between a desktop and laptop everyday and being able to instantly access the same files regardless of computer or location is a beautiful thing
Tweetdeck – seeing all the different twitter accounts for work and play… although sometimes i have to close it in order to get any real work done.
What services or software do you pay for?
Dropbox – worth every penny.
Show us your dock!
What’s 1 service you love most people don’t know about?
Fridge! – being able to instantly and privately create small groups for my friends, family, and events to easily share photos, messages, stories, etc… with only the right people and not worry about spamming everyone else
If our readers could solve any problem. What should they build for you?
Problem that the Facebook API is constantly changing… need the ability to send FB users a direct message through their API instead of only the public channels available.
How do you stay organized / productive?
Stay organized by using Behance action method notebooks (with a loose casual interpretation of the action method) and Evernote. There is still a never ending pile of paper and notes on my desk. Stay productive by just thinking about all the other startups trying to tackle the same problem… Walking around New York city some what leisurely relaxes the brain and stimulates critical thinking (that and the shower)
