I was not aware of Fluent but it looks fairly similar to about 100 or so other email sites, with a full list here http://blog.bartjellema.com/2012/02/22/email-s

Why are there so many of these sites? Is there a low barrier to entry or something? 90% seem to do similar things, so maybe someone should make one that allows people to write plugins for their platform and allow people to extend things that way?
- LiveTheDream 14y agoEmail itself is just a standard protocol; anyone can implement it. So, yes, there is a very low barrier to entry. Also, there are various problems around current email usage patterns that people want to solve: dealing with enormous inboxes, dealing with long conversation threads, managing contacts, integration with business workflows, etc.
