Who Wants To See My Xobni? Tom Whittaker

What is Xobni?  Besides inbox backwards, it is an Microsoft Outlook plug-in that makes email organization a bit friendlier. Check out the demo. It is actually very cool, useful but is in private beta.  Even Bill Gates gave it a positive plug recently, which is shocking since his people did not build it.

After waiting about a month, I finally received my invitation last night to join the beta and I really like it.  It basically gives you a nice sidebar in Outlook that shows you information about all people you email.  When you highlight an email, you see all the previous emails and files exchanged, their phone numbers and address.  It also organizes your calendar and to-dos in a nice format, plus shows you who you have not emailed in over a month. 

If I was in Sales, this would be a dream plug-in.  For me, it is a great when you get an email from a client, you instantly see past email communications instantly without searching.  It is brilliant. 

Since I am part of the private beta (I sound uber-cool, I know), I am able to send invites to 5 other people to get this.  If you are interested, let me know by submitting a comment to the blog.  Similar, to what would you for a Klondike bar, I need to know what you would do for Xobni?  The 5 best get invites.
