Hi HN,
Earlier this year as meetings moved online, I found myself drowning into them, unable to get any real work done. As I looked around for a tool to audit my calendar to figure out patterns of how my time was being spent, couldn't find any great option out there!
So, I did some data science [1] on calendar and discovered 3 primary dimensions which cause meetings to be draining and ineffective:
1. Wrong people in meetings 2. Agenda not well defined 3. Schedule not optimized for individuals
I was able to leverage these insights and cut down my weekly meetings into half! Hence, decided to build a service so people in similar situation can seamlessly do the same.
I'd love to have you try and hear what could be built on top of the analytics to create more value for you?

I had extremely negative experience with HR from Skyscanner.
After getting the process started from mailing on the mentioned email address, it took 3 reschedules to get 1st call setup because of random reasons.
And, after first call and initial writeup submission, I haven't heard back from HR after month either way.
Considering such unprofessional handling, I'd recommend against them.

I agree with the influence part. Although, Given tracking of users by Facebook, Twitter (Clicked items, Time spent, browsing & sharing patterns) & Google (Chrome history, Android), I doubt people should act surprised to find such even in current state.
And, given most of the content is curated based on people we follow in our social media feeds, I wonder if it will encourage individual contributors to work on their unique content and help in capturing majority share of a focussed set of readers value rather than being a part of narrative.

I agree with the long held role of newspapers in aggregating a set of articles based on their criteria.
But in the current age, bundling seems to be broken for 2 particular reasons:
- Most people discover content via their social networks (Twitter, Facebook, Reddit etc) where they have invested a long time to curate a set of individual journalists, public figures and acquaintances rather than orgs.
- Diversity of audience expects a rather focussed content curation from different view points rather than all encompassing single identity.
This makes me believe that going forward in future, people should be able to show appraisal to unique pieces rather than a wrapper organisation, based on their quality. This might be encourage grass root level curation by people who are incentivised for their effort rather than association with an existing brand.
