To Adam, Matt and all the crew; congratulations on Xobni’s notice by Bill Gates…I think all your hard work will indeed pay off, and kudos from men such as Gates can mean nothing but good things for your future. HDS

Very cool guys, congrats! BTW, I shared this link in pulse and noticed your blog title really buries the actual title of the post (it’s “Xobni: take back your inbox » Blog Archive » Bill Gates Demoes Xobni!”). So the actual title gets chopped off (ditto in most browser UI). I would suggest reversing the order of the fields so the specific blog post title is first and then you say “Xobni: take back your inbox” at the end.

@Joseph, thank you for the feedback. I have made the changes you suggest. Cheers!

[...] Xobni launched at TechCrunch40 (read our review). It is a 14-person YCombinator startup that raised a $4.2 million Series A last year from Atomico Investments, First Round Capital, Khosla Ventures, and Ron Conway’s Baseline Ventures. The VP of engineering, Gabor Cselle, worked on Gmail and did his Masters thesis on inbox organization (I’m not joking). Xobni offers a plug-in for Outlook that helps you sort through your inbox. Click on a person, and you can see all your threaded conversations with them, as well as any attachments they may have sent in the past. “It makes email, in general, work the way your brain does,” says Bonforte. Bill Gates is also a fan. [...]

[...] エンジニアリング部門VPのGabor Cselleは元Gmail担当者で、修士号の卒論は受信箱整理法がテーマ（冗談ではなくマジで）。 Xobniでは受信箱の整理を支援するOutlook対応プラグインを出している。人名をクリックすると、その人と交わしたやり取りのスレッドが全部見れるほか、過去その人から送られてきた添付も丸ごと見ることができる。「脳の働き方そのまんまに一般のメールも働くようにする製品ですね」とBonforte。因みにビル・ゲイツもXobniのファンだ。 [...]
