By Klint Finley / March 29, 2011 5:30 PM / View Comments

snail mail Message Bus is a new company that will offer an API for sending e-mail. It sounds like SendGrid or Amazon SES (see our coverage of SES for more competitors in this area). According to the blog post announcing the project, the team is focusing on an agnostic messaging architecture, "at the plumbing level, Twitter's road not taken."

Message Bus was founded by CTO Jeremy LaTrasse, former operations manager at Twitter and President Narendra Rocherolle and CEO Nick Wilder, both formerly of Webshots and 30Box.

Mozilla's Raindrop: An Open Conversation Aggregator

By Dana Oshiro / October 22, 2009 4:24 PM / View Comments

mozilla_raindrop_oct09b.jpgWhile most conversation aggregators are concerned with harnessing your river of data, Mozilla is breaking it down into manageable raindrops. According to a morning blog post on the Mozilla Labs site the company is launching the prototype for Raindrop 0.1, a product that they're calling "open messaging for the open web". While Mozilla's Snowl Firefox Add-On made it possible to follow streams and rivers of messages in your existing browser, Raindrop offers what appears to be a much cleaner interface and an API to hack on your own personal conversation dashboard.

PeopleMaps: Map Leads from Unconventional Connections

By Dana Oshiro / October 20, 2009 2:22 PM / View Comments

peoplemaps_logo_oct09.jpgThe problem with most contact management tools is that only a portion of your acquaintances are considered useful. Meanwhile, unconventional contacts like PTA parents, yoga partners and softball teammates remain invisible. Social graphing software PeopleMaps aims to change that. Similar to LinkedIn, the tool allows users to leverage their networks to gain access to new leads. In addition to importing professional connections from LinkedIn, PeopleMaps also provides a visual map of connections imported from Facebook, Gmail and Outlook.

yahoo_adcampaign_sept09.jpgEarly this morning Yahoo CEO Carol Bartz rang the NASDAQ opening bell in honor of her efforts at New York's Advertising week. Said Bartz, "Yahoo is where half a billion people come every month. They come to be entertained, they come to be informed, they come to talk to their friends and their business associates. In other words, Yahoo is the center of people's lives. That is what we are." Bartz's words are significant as the company is expected to unveil a $100 million dollar "It's You!" campaign tomorrow morning.

Will Gmail Get a Magic Inbox that Can Analyze Your Social Graph to Organize Mail?

By Frederic Lardinois / May 21, 2009 8:40 AM / View Comments

gmail_logo_apr09.pngAlex Chitu from the Google Operating System blog found an interesting reference to a "magic inbox" in Gmail's code this morning. In addition, there are also references to an "icebox-inbox" and the ability to sort mail by priority. Google has been relatively tepid with regards to adding features that exploit a user's social graph, but these references seem to point towards a system where Google could organize a user's mail based on the strength of this user's connection with the sender and not just based on the time a message arrived.

Gmail Gets 'Multiple Inboxes'

By Frederic Lardinois / February 5, 2009 9:59 PM / View Comments

gmail_logo_nov08.pngGoogle added a new feature to Gmail Labs today: Multiple Inboxes. Created as a 20% time project by Google's Octavian Costache, this new feature allows you to expand your standard Gmail inbox with additional panes. The name 'Multiple Inboxes' is misleading, however. In reality, this new feature gives you something akin to multi-pane viewing, with your main inbox on the left and up to five other 'inboxes' on the right. These additional inboxes can display anything from searches, to mail with a specific label or from a certain sender.

Google Mail Goggles: Are You Sure You Want to Send That?

By Rick Turoczy / October 6, 2008 7:58 PM

Google LabsGoogle has improved any number of the Web activities in which we engage during the day. But what about those activities that occur late at night? Like firing off that email at 3 AM on Sunday morning after a night out?

If Jon Perlow has his way, Google may be able to save you from that moment of regret, too.

The company gives you a virtually unlimited amount of disposable email addresses to use whenever you think somebody might start sending you spam or sell your address to spammers.
