Xobni Makes My Inbox Happy

I love Outlook.  It is probably the best thing that’s come out of Redmond.  Now, with Xobni, it’s even better.  Xobni is now in full public beta.  So, even though I have some invites, it appears you don’t have to ask me for one.

What’s it do?  Simple, it aggregates all of your messages and attachments and presents them in a sidebar view so that it’s easy to keep organized.  Sick of cleaning out your inbox?  I was.  Now I don’t think I’ll even bother anymore.  Here’s the feature list:

  • Fast email search
  • Rankings, graphs and statistics about how you and your contacts use email
  • Navigate email by people — who’s connected by email
  • Threaded conversations — click a message and see the entire thread
  • Looking for attachments to conversations?  Look no more — they’re right in the sidebar
  • Phone number are extracted from email and appear in the sidebar
  • And other stuff I haven’t even figure out yet

I had to call a contact to day and clicked on her email message.  Her phone number jumped right out at me.  I have 500+ contacts and finding a phone number can be a pain.  Not anymore.

Part of being productive and successful boils down to how you manage your time.  Software like xobni will definitely make me more productive when it comes to managing my email.  Now, let’s see if it can make me even more successful.  That would be a crazy trick!  Using Xobni?  Tell me what you think in the comments below.
