Making email better is undervalued. Love to see startups help extend it.
- pyre 17y agoThe problem is... How? Other than providing some sort of web front-end onto email (which is already done... Gmail.. Yahoo Mail.. etc), what can you do? You can try and use some sort of fancy email processing algorithms to do fancy things with email, but how does one make a business of that? Charge people to pass email through your system that sanitizes it and spits it out with better/cleaner headers for email clients to use?
- jackchristopher 17y agoI mean do more stuff through email, like Posterous and Xobni did. People are comfortable with the interface. I think Google Wave starts in email actually. But they extend it into XMPP. You got me on the money equation. But I'm sure there's some way to make it.
