I can't even begin to explain how stupid you look by bashing something you obviously have not even tried to use.
Do you have any idea how much time an average Joe spends in front of Outlook? It is easily 2nd most popular (or should I say 'used'?) application after web browser.
"Do you have any idea how much time an average Joe spends in front of Outlook?"
I'll second this, and could provide some hard data if I cared to run the reports.
At RescueTime (my startup-- a tool for measuring exactly how you spend your computer time), communication tools (Outlook/webmail and IM) ALWAYS rank in the top 2 or 3 apps.
If Xobni can demonstrably reduce the amount of time required to effectively use Outlook (or email in general) by 15 minutes per day, what do you think that's worth to a company with 10,000 information workers?
You joke, but there could be startups there. None of those features are done perfectly yet. If a startup could do one of those things amazingly well, they'd possibly find a good business in there too. Bookmarks in particular is a rich area.
this project has raised millions in funding?
a plugin that adds some functions to outlook? this project is as doomed as a project can be.
next in line:
etirovaf : a browser plugin that lets you search your bookmarks
rabksat : a plugin that displays all your applications right on the desktop
nwodtuhs : the easy power-off button - power off as its meant to be
