Bumptop Review

**As a quick disclaimer. This was a research item that I read about last spring in one of my classes. It is awesome to see a company that actually implemented the system and ideas behind it. I'll try it out for a while and get back to everyone on how well it works.

Quick Summary
Bumptop is a new way to organize and interact with your computer's desktop. Essentially bumptop is trying to enhance the metaphor between your real desk and your computer desktop. It uses concepts like piles, walls, throwing items around, and so on. It runs on either Macs or PCs. If you buy their pro version you get some extra features, but they do have a free version. Their free version runs great and only lacks a few features.

Its a pretty awesome way to think of using your desktop. Check out the video explanation below.

Things I Like

• Really awesome concept and implementation of a desk metaphor on your computer.
• Allows for organization as humans organize things.
• Customizable.
• Allows you to organize similar file types into piles

Things I Don't Like

• Completely visual based. Could make it somewhat harder to potentially find what you are looking for.
• Its a new way of thinking about my computer, requires a new workflow adjustment.
