Xobni News & Articles

Information overload got you down? Welcome to the club. We're over capacity.

If you're still thinking of resolutions to make in January, might we suggest proper e-mail management? Here are a few tools to help you along the way:

We CMSWire kids are already winding down this week in preparation for Thanksgiving, but according to a recent survey from Xobni (news, site), pumping the brakes for the holiday season is a luxury denied to many. The culprit? Good ol' e-mail. 

Corporate communicators have been lacking in the social media department for what seems like forever, and while that might have been okay in the past, there's less and less room for the socially inept in today's work force. This week we explored reasons behind the roadblock, as well as other struggles of giants such as Microsoft (Windows Phone 7, anybody?). 

E-mail management company Xobni (news, site) got the ball rolling in May when they announced a new platform for plugging contextual Gmail gadgets to Outlook. Today, the first of these gadgets are making their debut: Outlook users can now see previews of images, videos and feeds from Flickr, Huddle, Yelp and YouTube without leaving their inbox.

Two years ago, when we introduced you to Xobni, an email inbox and search software company, they were plugging into Microsoft Outlook.

Now, they are also using the Gmail contextual gadgets API to allow developers to build Gmail widgets for Outlook.

When Xobni was formed in 2006 by two graduate students, it sought to improve, enhance and otherwise fix Microsoft Outlook.

Now, it’s taking its efforts even further with a new tool that plugs into Outlook. Their software, free and downloadable, indexes all the e-mail in Outlook and makes those messages easily searchable and readily available.
