One of the most powerful features of Cluug is its ability to relate (or link) your things. This can be done manually, or by using Cluug's powerful recommendation mechanism that suggests potentially interesting things, both from your personal data but also from public data sources. Watch how you can use relations and recommendations here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0qrWvGdnfE

Gnowsis.com presented our product, "follow the links, be Cluug" at CeBIT 2010.

Cluug Tutorials is a series of screencasts that demonstrate useful features. See the first part about the Cluug bookmarklet here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kS05rgCrw-M

During the upcoming weeks I will give some details about the internals of Cluug — how it works, and what's behind the scenes.

As you may have already seen, Cluug manages your things — these are the ones that represent your information. Everything may become a thing, starting from a Web page through an email message through a file on your hard disk. But not only digital stuff can become a thing. People, projects, locations, topics — everything you can imagine can become a thing.

You probably haven't realized it yet, but the value lost due to missing information is enormous. A 2005 study by M.K. Bergman reveals that

• it costs in average $150 to find a misfiled document;
• 7.5 percent of all documents are lost forever;
• the average knowledge worker spends 25% of their work time with searching for critical information; and
• organizations spend 5 to 15% of their total revenue (!) on handling documents.
