Boxbe Blog

We’ve crossed the Atlantic with our latest press mention. In this quarter’s technology supplement, the Economist mentioned Boxbe in an article about new businesses that enable users to control their personal data.

“[Boxbe] sets out to address the problem of junk e-mail. Rather than using blacklists and using blacklists and filters to stop unwanted messages reaching their in-boxes, why not charge advertisers for permission to send promotional messages? That is the philosophy behind Boxbe for its “negotiated email delivery” service. It works rather like an automatic tollbooth between the internet and your in-box, deciding which traffic to let through, and how much to charge.”
