Xobni featured in Newsweek – Reinventing the Inbox

Posted by Matt Brezina

So a cool Google alert came across my inbox today. Xobni has been featured in a Newsweek story titled “Reinventing the Inbox.” We did an interview with Chris Flavelle a few weeks back on the innovation that is beginning to take place in the ancient internet communication application – email. Chris did an awesome job describing the recent innovation led by companies like Yahoo and us here at Xobni.

He even got the Bill Gates quote in there, calling Xobni “the next generation of social networking.”

Oh, and while I’m talking about Google alerts, I thought I would post a screenshot of my Xobni profile for the Google alerts I receive in my inbox.

For those of you that don’t know about Google alerts, read more here.

I’ve been running Google Alerts for a little over 1 year. I’ve seen 680 Google alert emails come across my inbox, and apparently the most popular time of day to post an article about Xobni is between 2pm and 7pm.

I love Xobni. I even run Outlook (even though Apple Mail is better) in a MAC VM, just so i can have it.

Google alerts are cool, but newsgator has off-line and mobile features for free. you should check it out.

Keep up the good work!
