Boxbe Blog

Welcome to Boxbe! As President of the company, I want to officially welcome you to our new blog. This is a place where you’ll hear from many of the Boxbe team members (currently six of us) about what’s going on here, and other things we think you’ll find interesting.

If you’ve been following Boxbe thus far, you probably know that we launched the first beta of www.boxbe.com in November. Since then, we have been working hard to iron out the kinks and bring Boxbe closer to our vision.

What’s our vision exactly? Boxbe is (at its heart) a new kind marketplace. What you trade through Boxbe (or give away, the choice is yours), is “access to yourself”. For your work and personal correspondence, you can let access be free. For others, we help you set a price. Our goal is to give you control over your inbox, and through that, your time.

With your inbox cleaned up, you regain the breathing room to consider new relationships. There are companies who want to reach you, and many you would be happy to hear from. Boxbe helps you hear from the right ones. How? The payment you require is a form of screen. When advertisers are required to reimburse you for your attention, they have more reason to use your preferences to send something interesting.

We’re lining up some exciting advertisers who want to participate. They will become part of the Boxbe marketplace, and share our vision. We know it’s a lofty goal, but every revolution starts somewhere. This is where we can use your help.

In order to engage companies that you would want to hear from (and who would want to pay to reach you), we need a sizable member base. We’ll tell you more about how you can help in upcoming posts, but for starters, spread the word and tell your friends to use Boxbe!

Thanks again for checking us out. Stay tuned for more posts about us and things related. What we’ve launched so far is only the beginning!
