Touchstone is a client-side Attention Management Engine that aims to become the defacto platform through which Attention Data (from multiple sources) is combined with user defined presentation rules in order to send change notifications, updates, alerts and content to a user while they are being productive with other things (I.e. without the need for them to bury their head in a news reader at all times). The more important the update, the more disruptive the presentation.
