Xobni keeps me from uninstalling MS Outlook..for now

I’ve given up on MS Outlook mostly. What started out as a massively innovative product several years ago is now just a deadbeat same ol’ problems again app. I’ve long since switched to Gmail for personal email. But the one reason I still live with outlook is that its offline. It allows me to keep tons of email close at hand, though its annoying to search.

So just as I was about to shut down my Outlook usage forever, here I find Xobni. (thats Inbox spelt backwards). In a nutshell, Its the equivalent of Google like search engine+analytics+more but for Outlook. It goes for outlook what google desktop does for the desktop, or Vista search for that matter. It also allows you to view your outlook emails as conversations, just like in gmail! yay!

A really nice interface…

SpendView is one of several startups hoping to help you manage your personal finances. Its built on aspx (.net2), and you dont see too many applications with such a nice slick interface. Now, what cant MS Money look more like this ?
