Lookout! Theres a Zombie, I mean Xobni in my Outlook!

0
Xobni, Inbox spelled backwards, is an add-on for Outlook that helps to unlock the potential of the wealth of data that is your inbox. Sure, Outlook has a search function and you can add folders and the like, but Xobni takes emailing to a whole new level.

After Xobni is installed, a pane on the far right of the Outlook screen opens with all of the Xobni features. This utility will make a contact page for each person. The page is complete with threaded conversations, a list of all attachments ever sent between the two of you, neat statistics, and the network that person belongs to. There is also a linkedin feature! 

My guess is that the company is waiting to be acquired by Microsoft or Google. Currently the app is free and on the website there is a hint that Xobni will be available on other platforms soon. If it becomes available on Gmail, I may just have to say goodbye to Outlook...
