Do you think Bill Gates is a
visionary man? I do.
Bill Gates, speaking February
2008 at the Microsoft Office
Developer Conference in San
Jose, California, called Xobni
'the next generation of social
networking.' So, what is
Xobni? The application, called
Xobni (name is strange, but if
you spell inbox backwards, you
will get what they mean), is
an Outlook plug-in that not
only indexes your inbox for
advanced searching but also
turns Outllook into a kind of
social networking utility that
can identify links between
e-mail recipients.
Xobni digs into e-mails in
Outlook and creates some kind
of database, pulling key
pieces of information out of
messages in the folders, such
as names, phone numbers, and
addresses and organizes them
into additional sidebar,
bringing valuable collective
information at your service.
For example, click on one of
the e-mails and the Xobni
sidebar opens an
information-rich profile for
your contact. You will see
conversation statistics (such
as how often you communicate
with this person and when),
phone numbers, other people in
the contact's network (those
who have been cc'd on earlier
messages), previous and
current e-mail threads,
appointments, and a list of
all attachments that person
has sent you.
At the moment, the plug-in is
available exclusively for
Outlook, but more e-mail
platformsâ?? solutions on its
way. For beginning of May,
company entered into a Beta
stage, when anybody can
download and use the utility
for free, and no invitation
needed.
I personally did it, and I am
really excited so far by the
extended mail client
capabilities.
