> It turns out that Xobni is not really an Outlook plug-in company. Rather, it's a company that makes a platform to abstract the difficult-to-write-for-Outlook, as well as other less-broken e-mail services, and that allows the creation of new products that integrate e-mail data with other apps. and > if Salesforce.com wants to write a plug-in that tightly integrates its CRM data into Outlook ... Compare that to what I wrote here a couple days back: "With this synchronization across mail clients, Xobni has transformed itself from an analytics feature [of Outlook] to a full-fledged network to manage your contacts and interactions. I could see this integrating powerfully with, for example, Salesforce.com."
