Xobni launches
September 18th, 2007 by Randy Stewart, Product Manager
I’ve always been a bit of an analytics nerd, but I have to admit, Xobni looks pretty cool. And if you use Outlook, this might be the answer to your prayers.
…It’s inbox, backwards
Launched at this week’s TC40 here in San Francisco and backed an old pal of mine at YCombinator, Xobni brings analytics and metadata to your Outlook inbox.
Ever wonder how many times someone has emailed you? How about finding that attachment or phone number that is buried somewhere? Outlook isn’t exactly helpful.
Xobni seems to be answer to every place that Outlook is lacking. Fast search, data extraction. threaded conversations and quick attachment recovery round out Xobni’s Outlook offering. Looks like a pretty cool plugin.

I think Xobni is a cool app… and it’s got potential to enable social networking across domains. I’m also a fan of some other plug-ins, like SendShield… it basically makes sure I never accidentally send Microsoft Word files with Tracked Changes. It’s a good twist on data security: http://www.sendshield.com.
