2433 Unread Emails Is An Opportunity For An Entrepreneur
Small businesses need to manage email effectively
Two Great Ideas:
• What if your highrise/basecamp account could talk to your inbox?
• What if your inbox could talk to your boss's inbox, so everyone know what's going on?
current state
No data portabilty!• There's no email service that provides a convenient api for external services.
• Practically impossible for your other applications to mine your inbox.
Your inbox is asocial!• Bill e-mails Fred and Mary. Fred decides Bob should be in on the conversation too, so he replies and CCs Bob.
• Mary replies to the first e-mail and Bob misses out on her reply.
• Then Fred doesn’t want to take part anymore, but still keeps getting everybodys’ replies and can’t opt out.
• Later there’s an argument about who said what and who got it, and people have to trawl through badly formatted quotes at the bottom of old e-mails to work out what actually happened.
This is where we come in!
How we do it• every member of your team gets an email account @company.werksmail.com
• add a domain name to get aliases like @company.com
• assign/share emails with someone else in your team
• comments/notes on an email are visible to everyone
How we do it• REST api that exposes your messages to external services
• Third party apps can now mine your inbox!
Try it! It's great!
