It was only a year ago that I first wrote about Greplin, the "other half of search" for you online life. It's an incredibly useful search engine that indexes your online email, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Calendar, Dropbox and other stuff (22 services are currently supported). Greplin is a single search box for all of this, and it's fast. Until now, though, you had to use the HTML5 site for mobile use, there was no dedicated application. If you're an iPhone user, that's now changed. Android and other users have to wait a bit longer. Why the need for a dedicated app? 20 year old CEO Daniel Gross says they needed an app to add in their most requested features. The goal is to reduce typing by anticipating what you need - if you open the app on a way to a meeting, Greplin can use your location and the date/time to make an intelligent guess you want an address or phone number relevant to that meeting, and then give it to you. The Greplin iPhone app's predictive accumen is impressive.Source: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/lQx4GuiyI3U/
