Comments on: OutlookDeck brings Twitter concepts to e-mail

E-mail, Twitter, and Facebook all want your constant attention. Here's how to give it to them without losing your mind. It's all about filtering your social airspace.

Thanks for the overview and kind words on OutlookDeck. I'm keen to carry on the UI experiment. If people have some ideas or things they'd like to see improved then I've set up this to help:

thanks for the heads up on Outlookdeck. - will check it out.

I use Outlook Rules and OtherInbox to channel non-urgent stuff out of my inbox (theoretically leaving actionable stuff) but maybe OD would remind me to check the folders once in a while...Right now I check them maybe once a week

But if it gives me an alert ONLY for emails that come in on certain topics/people (the way Tweetdeck does for search terms) that would be very useful....hmm.

Setting up the Multiple Inboxes feature from GMail Labs serves about the same purpose - my starred items (to-dos, and reminders from GCal and RememberTheMilk which are weeded out by a filter) and regular inbox are visible at a glance, and by scrolling down I can check other messages which are filtered away from my primary inbox.
