Craigslist Alerts Via FeedMyInbox

Feed My Inbox is a cool service that alows you to subscribe to blogs for email updates.  We have added their subscription box in the bottom right hand corner of the screen.  Another cool use I have discovered for their service is the ability to monitor craigslist categories via email.  This makes it easy to stay on top of all kinds of potential summer steals.  All you have to do is add the craigslist RSS URL to the feed my inbox page and your set.

Xobni, makes Outlook better

I understand that this is a fairly broad statement.  There is a lot of room to make outlook better.  I mean if outlook was half as efficient as Gmail people wouldn’t be flooding to the service.  Xobni allows more efficient processing of contacts and attachments.  It also provides some interesting statistics about your email use.  Finally it helps integrate your email data into a few social networking tools.

When you open xobni you will notice how the side bar fits nicely into outlook,  it’s more stylish than the typical outlook interface and it crams a ton of information into it’s small amount of screen space.  When you click on an email xobni gets to work.  It checks a few social networks to find information about the person and company that sent you a message.  Xobni then lets you know all of the file attachments and groups that the contact is associated with.

Groups is a fairly intelligent and unique feature that looks at all of the people who have ever been cc’d on an email chain that a contact was included on.  I correspond with a variety of IT groups so it is interesting to see who tends to get CC’d on a client’s issue or who may need to know about a specific problm impacting a client.  Also in a large organization it may keep you from having to dig up information about the chain of command for a contact.  Also,  it’s just cool data mining, although scary.

If that isn’t enough xobni will provide you trivia about your email usage, for example who emails you most often and who do you most often email you.  I think it’s amazing how many CRM features xobni is able to provide from a simple look at one’s email rather than using a overblown bloated system like Exchange Server.

Good Job Xobni.
