Maya is a week old

Many people have said they found the little buddy useful, and would love it if it did more. Before I go on to what's been cooking, there are some little goodies that you might not have noticed!
  • If you just type '/find' without a query, it will show you your most recent notes. The search works as before of course.
  • Notes now also show when you saved them.
For example:

me: /find
talk: You can search notes too. For example, '/find john' finds notes about john.
Your most recent notes:
[3 minutes ago] Talk to Sarah about the cleaning appointment.
[1 hour ago] Car audio code 5114
[8 days ago] alice phone 415-912-6730
[9 days ago] google office phone 650-253-1001
[9 days ago] mom phone number 231-900-1223

UPDATE (April 29th)

You can now cruise through all your notes using the '/more' command.

Many of you expressed displeasure with the limited set of results returned by search ('/find query') and browse ('/find'). There was just no way of seeing the rest of 'em.

Until now that is. Go on, do some searches and discover /more joy yourself!

Introducing: A chat buddy that remembers your note

On April 12th, talk@mayafile.com came into existence. It is an infant, but carries a big brain!

Make talk@mayafile.com your Google Talk buddy to get started. It may take a few minutes before it appears online in your friends' list.

It remembers what you tell it to, so you can retrieve it later.

Example:

 me:  /store google office phone 650-253-1000
 talk:  I have stored your note.
 me:  /find phone
 talk:  3 notes found.
alice phone 415-912-6730
google office phone 650-253-1548
mom's phone number 231-900-1223

Do tell me your experiences and the stuff you would like this little chat buddy to do for you.
