Five New Revolutionary Email Programs That Will Change How You Work

Venture Beat takes a look at four new email programs that promise to centralize email on our desktops and improve upon their capabilities:

Fuser allows you to see all your mail, social networking, and audio phone messages on one screen. Fuser plans to add Instant Messaging and is aimed at the every day computer user.

Orgoo like Fuser, pulls everything together in one place, but differs in that it's app looks like a traditional email service. Venturebeat notes that the cool thing about "Orgoo is that it lets you switch seamlessly between formats — IM, voice, text and email. You can do things like send an IM as an SMS message, for example." Orgoo plans to add social networking and is aimed more towards the tech crowd.

XObni (or Inbox backwards) adds a sidepanel to Outlook to add more functionality to the user's personal address book.

Xoopit adds search functionality to your email application. According to Venturebeat, Xoopit can "search through every email ever sent to a user and pull out and compile a photo gallery from the attachments. Other content in emails can also be separated out. The idea is to make even old emails and content available without requiring hours of digging, much like separating a single towering stack of documents into organized filing cabinets."

Bonus - Guerilla Email. Guerrilla Mail provides you with disposable e-mail addresses which expire after 15 Minutes. You can read and reply to e-mails that are sent to the temporary e-mail address within the given time frame. As Lifehacker notes, it's "perfect for web sites that you don't want to communicate with you but require email registration."

I finally got the chance to check out a couple of these email services. Fuser has some glitches, but it looks useful - it allows one to see all these email, im and social community accounts as messages come in - so you can go to one site, rather than several. I also like Xoopit - it brings up any media if you sent via email - music, photos, pdfs, etc - very useful when are searching for something specific. Both are free.

The New York Times ran on article on Xobni today

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
