AlertMatrix
REXwireless has some great apps for BlackBerry users in ToDoMatrix, IdeaMatrix, ReferenceMatrix and KnowledgeMatrix, but what really caught my attention this year was a new application they are soon going to release called AlertMatrix. AlertMatrix is a flexible, rules-based communications filtering and alerts application that tightly integrates into your BlackBerry’s OS. It’s brilliant. If you’re the kind of guy who gets 400 emails a day on your BlackBerry while wearing it at the hip or in your pocket, there’s currently no real way to prioritize those messages. If your profiles are set to Quiet you miss them all, and if they’re set to Normal or Loud your BlackBerry buzzes or beeps 400 times a day and it drives you nuts and causes CrackBerry-induced ADD. AlertMatrix allows you to override the default profiles. Are there only 5 people who you really need to check/respond to their messages immediately? Set your BlackBerry to silent, setup a rule for your 5 VIPs, and instead of your BlackBerry buzzing 400 times a day it’ll only buzz when your VIPs message you (hopefully that’s a lot less!). The implementation is really well done. There’s more to it than what has been described, but it’s definitely one of those apps that makes you wonder Where Has This App Been All My Life?!
Once again RexWireless has hit the nail on its head, although I personally have not tested it yet, I’m sure the hype is all real, so keep posted.
