I’m not complaining about Gmail, if that’s your interpretation. It’s an awesome service with great spam filtering. The point I’m making is that any large-scale service — be it Gmail or Ymail or Hotmail — will, if it aggregates the wisdom of its entire collective of users, miss out on the more specific and targeted kinds of wisdom held by subsets of the collective mind.

It’s quite interesting (revealing?) that rather than compliment the service that delivers the functionality you admire, you wish someone else was delivering it.

Love your blog

Regards, Matt.

The biggest issue I always had was that it only did Outlook, and I was not permitted to use MS products. Then I switched from a Windows user to a Mac user, so again out of luck there. But my family still uses it and it works great.

A very cool application made by a few really sharp guys here in L.A. I met one of the founders at the last CTO Forum and came away very impressed with their chances of making a difference in the “social RSS” realm.
