Xobni - My new found friend...

  • Article

I admit it, I have a little bit of a software crush going on right now.  A colleague forwarded me an invitation to join the Xobni beta.  I am an analytics geek at heart, and it drives me nuts not to be able to do analytics on my email.  I installed Xobni - it installs as an add-in for Outlook - and have been using it for an hour.  They have a bunch of killer features...a couple of things stood out...

  • The Xobni analytics functionality shows me how much email, from who, send/receive patterns, etc...including showing me who is not responding to emails...I have one from 192 days ago...I think that thread is dead, but in this case it actually was a missed opportunity to make a good connection with someone
  • Has a "schedule time with" feature...offers up some available times to a colleague...sweet
  • Shows all the attachments you have send/received in emails with that contact

Go check it out...I think it is an invitation-only beta going on, but there are ways you can move to the front of the line (tip the bouncer?)...

Alright, back to the chemical business...
