What is the Future of Email?

What is the Future of Email?

By Jacob Morgan on March 13, 2012

Gartner has an interesting graphic they created which I stumbled upon after reading a CMSWire article.  The image helps explain the email paradox which is email is not the best method for information sharing and distribution yet it’s not going to go away.  The image compares email with social networking and looks at several variables.  The most […]

YouSendIt Moves Focus from Send to Share

YouSendIt Moves Focus from Send to Share

By Ben Kepes on March 6, 2012

One of the companies that has, until now, been left behind amidst all the attention given to the file collaboration and sharing vendors is YouSendIt. While the charismatic founders of Box and DropBox, Aaron Levie and Drew Houston respectively, articulate a vision of interconnectedness and the end of emailing files between collaborators, YouSendIt has quietly […]

Learn From the Gmail Fiasco: You Need Redundant Copies of Your Email–Don’t Worry, It’s Painless :-)

By Zoli Erdos on February 28, 2011

A few hundred thousand (numbers range from 150k to 500K) Gmail and Google Apps users had the scary experience of losing ALL their email content yesterday.  Their account was accidentally “reset”.  Google acknowledged the error, and issued a statement that they are working on restoring “lost” content. Let’s stop and think here a minute.  Is […]

Email as the Problem or Email as the Solution?

Email as the Problem or Email as the Solution?

By Jacob Morgan on February 22, 2011

Email is getting quite a bad reputation, in fact Atos Origin (a large consulting and outsourcing company) is pledging to be a zero email company within three years! Bertrand Duperrin wrote up a great post on this examining whether or not this realistic.  This post however is not about whether or not we could or […]

Gmail, Don’t be a Yahoo!

Gmail, Don’t be a Yahoo!

By Zoli Erdos on November 5, 2010

In the 90’s I used to laugh at friends who all used Yahoo! as their personal email service. I did not understand how anyone could put up with the slow speeds of web-mail, and tried to convince them to install a decent email client, like Outlook, which is what most of them used in their […]

Google Docs Meets Outlook? – Yes, You Read That Right!

Google Docs Meets Outlook? – Yes, You Read That Right!

By Ben Kepes on March 9, 2010

Let’s face it – despite significant hand-waving to the contrary, Microsoft Outlook is the default email client for the vast majority of the enterprise world. No matter how much people love to hate the fact, Outlook is both widely understood and the accepted norm. I’ve talked to a number of people involved in deploying Google […]

Don Dodge Dumps Microsoft After it Dumps Him

Don Dodge Dumps Microsoft After it Dumps Him

By Zoli Erdos on November 16, 2009

It’s less than two weeks ago that Microsoft let Don Dodge go, along with 5,000 other employees.  He parted gracefully, then soon posted: Getting dumped by Microsoft was a life changing event…for the better. The future is very bright. The opportunities are amazing. Don probably set a World Record in the speed of getting a […]

Yes, Outlook is Broken, but Who Cares? Do You Really Want More Inbox Spam?

Yes, Outlook is Broken, but Who Cares? Do You Really Want More Inbox Spam?

By Zoli Erdos on June 25, 2009

(Note to self: this post won’t make me popular… oh, well).  The last thing I can be called is an Outlook-fanboy.  I broke out of Outlook-prison long ago and never looked back, have consistently spoke up against how Microsoft abuses their users, but this time all I can say is the “Fix Outlook” debate is […]

Using eBay as SaaS Marketing Tool?

Using eBay as SaaS Marketing Tool?

By Zoli Erdos on June 23, 2009

This listing on eBay is hilarious, almost makes me wonder if it’s a true listing or carefully planted advertising for Google Apps (and SaaS in general).  But the seller appears to be real, has been on eBay for ten years…   Here we go, get Microsoft Office w. Outlook for $75, because: It’s brand new and […]

Mohammed, the Mountain, Google and Zoho (Oh, and Microsoft Sharepoint, too)

Mohammed, the Mountain, Google and Zoho (Oh, and Microsoft Sharepoint, too)

By Zoli Erdos on June 23, 2009

If the mountain will not come to Mohammed, Mohammed will go to the mountain. Legend says when the Founder of  Islam was asked to give proof of his teaching, he ordered Mount Safa to come to him. When the mountain did not comply, Mohammed went to to the mountain, raised his hands and thanked God […]

Gmail Migration Tools Attack Inertia

Gmail Migration Tools Attack Inertia

By Zoli Erdos on May 14, 2009

A few years ago a software recruiter told me how he deleted job applications sent from a Hotmail account: after all, how could an applicant claim to be technology-savvy and still be using hotmail?  Seriously.  While Yahoo was by far not as bad as Hotmail, there was a stigma attached to using the free webmail […]

Updated Guide to Importing All Your Archive Email Into Gmail

By Zoli Erdos on October 24, 2008

This is now so simple, it shouldn’t even require any guidance, but I am still receiving inquiries, so I thought I’d reprint this guide, originally published on my personal blog. But first things first… Why would you want to import all your old email to Gmail? Because it gives you an All-In-One, searchable archive. I […]
