Xobni: Drowning in Email?
Being a Tech company we are always on the lookout for great new tech tools that save us time and we like to share these new finds with our clients. This year we discovered www.xobni.com. Yep, that is Inbox spelled backwards. This Microsoft Outlook plug-in helps you manage your flooded Inbox.
Xobni is the San Francisco startup that is revolutionizing the way people manage email relationships. Xobni makes a plugin for Microsoft Outlook that helps you organize your flooded inbox. Xobni was founded by Adam Smith and Matt Brezina in the spring of 2006.
Xobni extends Outlook by offering fast search, conversation threading, a social networking platform, and many other features designed to make email better:
- Lightning fast email search
- Email analytics
- Threaded conversation
- Quick attachment discovery
- Web service integration with linkedin
We have been using xobni this month and have found it to be an incredible time saving tool! No more looking at your sent folder for attachments and wasting your time! Check it out today and start saving time.

Hey ReportHawk team,
Xobni is definitely great if you have Outlook. There’s also ClearContext, and, currently in private beta, Gist, which works with webmail. I’ve been thinking a lot about these sort of apps that add to our self-knowledge through applying metrics to our everyday activity. I wrote a post about them, Self knowledge: Good for entrepreneurship, excellent for info overload.
The other two apps I’d really recommend you check out are Mint, which shows you how you’re spending you’re money, and RescueTime, which shows you how you’re spending your time on your PC (websites visited, time spent using different applications, etc.). Awesome to see you promoting useful tools. Keep it up!

Thanks for this post! Xobni is okay – Outlook Track-It (google it!) is also amazing for the followup function. you can flag emails to be followed up. Small toolbar/plugin!
