Yes, this is an interesting tool and it allows me to find relevant email trails very quickly. However, I have a lot of emails in my inbox and this add-on is really hindering the performance/speed of Outlook, so it is unlikely that I will continue to use it.

Matt, I have to disagree with you, I spent all day Monday at TC conference, mainly in the demo pit and out of the 50 companies in the bit, I found at least 5 that are very compelling and useful companies.

Matt, it seems like you've been caught up in the hype. At the end of a full day of using this add-on the biggest thought on my mind was "what were the VC's thinking?". The add-on is slick, error-free for a beta and very-very fast in all it's features (including search). But, but VC investment for an Outlook add-on whose best feature is email-search? I guess being associated with Paul Graham has it's perks.

I've been running this. While I agree that "better email" is a huge opportunity, I can tell you that this installation doesn't really address that many serious issues. Seriously, there were many other ways to improve email. Do I really need to know what time of day I sent a mail? Or, how many mails I've "received" from a certain contact vs. how many I've "sent". That's not helpful or useful information. The concept is generally good but the features built into the initial version are mostly pointless. Anyone who actually installs and uses the app will be able to attest to that. Hopefully these guys will start to focus on more nagging issues associated with emails.

Well, I use Gmail -- and living in the Valley is expensive -- so I might have voted for Mint. But it does seem like a lot of Outlook users are impressed with Xobni. I could sure use Xobni for Gmail.

Matt it sure sounds more like this struck a personal chord with you than a killer company. Based on what little I have read about the 40 so far I'd think Mint, which is currently hard to access due to server load, will win.

Fred, no in. I don't know a single person working at this company. I found many of the TC40 companies quite weak in terms of innovation and real usefulness. When something like this comes up, it's refreshing. Try using it and then tell me its not useful. Ok, maybe its only for power users. This will improve my productivity considerably, because of the amount of email I do -- hours a day. I've also been bordering on repetitive stress injury, so help, even at the margins, counts. I'm using it.

Nice plug. What's your in?

"The constant toggling between Outlook calendar, inbox and the to-do list is a serious hassle..."

So...hard...must...move hand...must click...so weary...

That was truly lame even in the context of VC lameness. I would love to see that on the Xobni pitch powerpoint, all of the heads in the room nodding sharply "yes...yes that is what has crippled the adoption of email and the penetration of Outlook - the lack of a sidebar with the guy's picture! Valuation - at least $75M!!

It's a slightly clever widget. if this blows away everything else at TechCrunch, God help the Valley.

Question: Great free tool. Is it a true business? How do they intend to monetize the application?

@asmith:
blooma = looksmart; i.e., search for outlook
xobni = email productivity AND search

Sounds very useful. I know the feeling since I am using Outlook again. I'll have to give it a try.

Sorry to be the contrarian here, but this is very similiar to Bloomba which Yahoo acquired some 3 to 4 years or so ago. Their (justified) goal of creating economic value where Outlook fell short never materialized though the founders had an exit. Not sure how Xobni will be any different, especially given Bloomba/Yahoo's miss.

I have to admit... the one failing grace of using Outlook might have been fixed with this. I'd been using MS Desktop Search... but with all these extra functions makes me want to give it a try.
