An application I’ve been digging lately is Xobni. This tool is a free Microsoft Outlook plugin that is a local search tool and collects statistics about the people you send mail to. The tool is cool, although the statistics are more interesting than useful. The best thing that the tool does is to change the paradigm of email search from whatever it was to ‘conversations’. You can use the tool to (immediately) see all of the conversations you’ve had with a person or around a topic. Since this is the way that your brain, or at least my brain, thinks – this is much more useful. The best advice I can give is that you should download a copy of this FREE tool and try it out. Quite cool. And the guys behind this in San Francisco appear to be cool too. www.xobni.com – check it out.
