Comments on: Xobni makes Outlook better, but where's the business?

There's more to this company than meets Outlook.

In the last five years Microsoft deserves the title of "Most Mismanaged IT Company in the World." Their lack of improvements to Outlook is one of many proof sources.

You are right, Jim.

I love the PIM Outlook 2007, never found an alternative, but MS slowly adds new features. Xobni is great but its memory management is just terrible. Wish MS could add such a feature.

I downloaded this app and it did two unexpected things. It disabled Javascript in Firefox, and it also hijacked my desktop search. The latter problem was resolved upon rebooting, but the Firefox issue did not get resolved. The app is OK...if you have a good desktop search like X1/Yahoo Desktop Search, you don;t really need this. However, the "Analytics" is very cool

Xobni is a great app. It has the workings to also be a great social app and seems to have laid the groundwork. Will there be any plans to integrate services like twitter into the user profiles and histories? I could see someone setting up profiles for various social services like twitter, facebook, linkedin, etc and then pulling in historical information (like from tweetscan). My question is what role will social apps play within Xobni.
Thanks,

What you need is search. and search only. reliable and fast. therefore: http://www.lookeen.com!

Social networking is very nice. But in my personal view FAST AND RELIABLE SEARCH is want makes the difference when it comes to daily business in Outlook. Therefore you should have a look at Lookeen. BTW: They are selling their product from day 1 without any financing!

Lookeen is a small startup from Europe, they dedicated their work to search and search only: http://www.lookeen.com

But for what do I need Facebook or Skype in Outlook?? Serious, I have to work with Outlook and don´t want to see my employees get distract of an gadget, which they spend a lot of time in it...because of that we changed to Lookeen too and have to say that this tool is a lot more serious than xobni!
