Xobni, a week later


It's been a week since I installed Xobni, and I must say, I love this thing! The feature I find the most useful is where it links people and the files they have sent me. I get close to 100 emails a day, half of them with attachments. Most of the time the subject of the email isn't even close to the name of the documents, making searching for it with Outlooks search or by looking at the preview view difficult. With Xobni, as long as I know the person who sent it to me, I can get a list of all the files that person has sent me. That has made my life a lot easier.

Finding emails by topic etc has also been easier. I havent found too much use yet for the analytics in Xobni, most of the email I get is from co-workers so it's not important to me to know when they email me or with what frequency. I can definitely see a value to that feature if xobni worked with my Gmail account. I hear rumors today about a Yahoo plug in and of Microsoft and Xobni in talks about a possible buy out by Msoft.

I see a lot of potential for this tool and hope to hear about some developments soon.
