I'm not sure if I would use it long-term myself but.. every ceo/cfo I've ever had the pleasure of working with will love it.


Hmm, looks pretty cool. Definitely some nice features in there. Im not sure if any of these features have been implemented elsewhere, but I like the fact that it automatically scrapes contact info. That is something I am always to lazy to collect, and end up searching through thousands of emails later to find it.

Also, the stats could be useful. I never use it unless I specifically want to talk to someone, and that would be nice to know when I could expect to find them online.


Um, meh? I don't see much past gmail's sidebar reimplemented in outlook, but otoh, that seems like it could be a decent niche. Perhaps most surprising is that I've actually heard about them, which is an impressive marketing push.

I don't like the logo/pronunciation, the bar over the "o" implies "xohbni" (a long "o"), but whatever I guess.


kinda nice plugin i guess. They need a new name. Thats a FACT. The trend is going more to web based e-mail clients so i guess they should make Xobni for Gmail.


"Get ready for some seriously boring stuff". I hope their "smart search" was a joke.

The activity distribution is a neat idea, just as much as it's useless.


cool! can anyone hook me up with a xobni invite?
