Newly Seeded Etacts (YC W10) Seeking Holy Grail Of The Unified Inbox

• johnrob 17y ago
  What's the major difference between eTacts and Xobni, or are they more or less competitors?
  • martian 17y ago
    The major difference seems to be platform. Xobni works with Outlook, eTacts is for Gmail. I suspect the two will have a lot of duplicated functionality.

      "Liu says Etacts plans to move to Outlook and other services."

  I really think there's too many social networks / news feeds / email accounts / twitter accounts etc. these days... it's information overload. With that said, I don't know if adding another layer to integrate everything is the best solution. Instead of uncomplicated our lives, it just adds one more thing to manage. I can see it being used by people with hundreds of contacts, but for the average user, it's probably not necessary, and perhaps overly complicated.

    Its also useful for other things, I don't have hundreds of emails but i find it nice to have information on the person i am emailing (pic, recent emails, linkedin, fbook etc) all at the side of the email i am composing in gmail.

  Just tried etacts. Pretty cool service. I know another company doing the same thing albeit on mobile phones, showing caller's social context on incoming calls (sociallyapp.com).
