Digitwirl: Get a personal assistant. Siri-ously

People are people, so it should be no surprise that even those who appear to be glamorous rock star-types get just as overwhelmed as the rest of us when it comes to the minutaie of life. You know, that long list of piddly tasks that — as my pal Nancy says — can make you feel like you’re being eaten alive by sunfish. The bites are tiny, but they add up!

I’m thrilled to see this week’s twirl in action; as usual, Carley digs into an app I’ve been meaning to check out for a long time. You know, when I have “spare time.” It’s nice to see Siri in action; I’m giving it a test run this week!

Let’s not even get into the thrill I experienced at seeing my ’90s girl-crush Lisa Loeb on screen. Geek girls in glasses? YES!


Digitwirl: Get a personal assistant. Siri-ously.

Sometimes the smallest tasks take the most time. And who doesn’t have a seemingly neverending to-do list? Wouldn’t it be great if you could have a personal assistant to take care of all that stuff for you? Guess what, there’s an app for that. And it is Siri-ously amazing.

In this week’s Twirl, Carley’s talking to her pal Lisa Loeb: a wonderfully talented singer, and typically time-challenged mom. She’s looking to simplify her life, just like we all are. You’ll be as amazed as she was when we introduced her to Siri, a virtual assistant that is at your beck and call. Siri can send you reminders for things you need to do, find businesses and restaurants wherever you are, show you what kids’ events are going on, and even tweet—all without touching a keypad. This productivity app uses simple voice command: you say it, Siri does it. Don’t you wish you could say the same about your family?
