Woosabi Email - the future?
I’ve always seen the inbox area of Woosabi as being key to the product and key to where the product will be driven. This is probably because I’m an engineer and communicate with my clients almost 100% through email - we do face to face meets too which are vital but once we’re working email is the main link really.
Which means my user experience of Woosabi is focused almost totally around the inbox (using jobs and invoices to make sure i get paid 
) . Where Woosabi already has a leg up on solving the ‘overloaded inbox’ problem, is that email (in the Woosabi world) is either connected to a contact or it isn’t (in which case it’s a new contact and Woosabi will ask to create an association or do something with it spamwise).
What this boils down to is with Woosabi that your inbox is usually only a 10 or 20 messages deep, and messages are either marked with reminders to reply (important) or not (not important) - sounds simplistic? It is and it works really well!
At the moment I believe Woosabi email is at least as good as the current webmail offerings (gmail, hotmail, etc) but our architecture means we can do so much more and in particular aggresively attack the problem of spam, volume and response times to email.
The problems and perceptions of which are neatly summed up in this techCruch post

This puts across the solution to email overload really well. It’s almost alarming in its simplicity, but then most of the best innovations are.

Shows another Woo USP…..however, on a slightly different track…. Techcrunch.com clearly look to PR many + varied techie topics….worth looking down reply posts to see interest this type of article gains. Clearly Woo PR/Marketing approach will benefit from such examples of “communicating with tech influencers”
