What our members say about Factr
Content Creator
D.S. Moss
Host of The Adventures of Memento Mori
I've been using Factr both to research my podcasts, and then plan and sequence them. Google searches sometimes got pretty distracting. Now Factr keeps me from going down wormholes. It's saved not just hours of my time, but weeks.
Analyst
Patricia Lustig
Strategic Foresight Analyst, author of “Strategic Foresight: Learning from the Future”
I used to hire research assistants for 20-30 hours a month. With Factr, I just set my parameters and relevant items show up as soon as they're published. I don't need assistants anymore, and I actually get better information, faster.
Curator
Fran Holstron
Founder / Chief Curator, Neesh Interactive
Factr gives me the best features of Dropbox, Facebook, Trello, and Tumblr. Everything I need is in one place. I can edit things, drag them from stream to stream, sort them in an intuitive way. Facebook's job is to distract me. Factr's job is to help me organize.
Researcher
Andy Carl
Honorary Fellow (non-resident), School of Law, University of Edinburgh
Factr is the perfect tool for content sharing, networking, and putting information out into the public space. It's also great for managed, close collaboration on potentially sensitive issues.
Facebook User
Sheerly Avni
Editor and writer
Factr is a fantastic alternative to Facebook, Twitter, and the other manipulative, ad-driven platforms I'm trying to escape. It feels good to avoid all the noise, the privacy violations, the endless ploys designed to steal my time and attention.
Journalist
Mike Fleshman
Journalist (Africa specialist and photojournalist)
I used to spend 70 to 80% of my time just rounding up and forwarding information. With Factr it's more like 10%. Factr is an absolutely indispensable tool for sharing with clients, organizations, and my broader networks.
