Inbox 2.0: Available at Xobni

Earlier in the week, I posted about current discussions for many of the popular email providers and their push to get into the next era of Enterprise 2.0. The team at Xobni noticed that Inbox 2.0 was the next big Enterprise 2.0 topic, as well. They responded with a blog post. Xobni’s inbox is already at Inbox 2.0. Their goal was to be able make email more efficient.

They put special importance on identifying significant data according to the history of your inbox. Then they take it one step farther and collect information from the web to complete your contacts profiles. Unlike in Google’s contact list, you don’t have to individually type everyone’s email address, mailing address, phone numbers or add their picture. Instead, Xobni saves this information from their email, and if it’s not there they turn to the web and find it so that you can have complete profiles.

This is the product they have now. They’re still innovating and working to make their inbox more effective. Have they pulled ahead of the pack?
