Révolutionner l'email avec ZenBe

 "20-word Pitch: Zenbe is a new free webmail service, aiming to deliver the best email experience on the web. CEO’s Description: Zenbe provides users with a full featured email service, integrated with calendar, task list, Facebook, Delicious, and more.
One of the most innovative features of Zenbe is "personal mashups", called ZenPages, that let users share their personal information, such as events, email or files, mashed up with public widgets such as maps, slideshows, IM or videos. In a few seconds users can create an interactive website, and collaborate with whomever you wish. ZenPages offer an alternative to social networking, media sharing, or team collaboration services, but integrated with your email, calendars, and task lists...
Nevertheless, Zenbe is hoping to completely change the way in which we email. Take all those services I just mentioned, for blogging, keeping up with friends, etc. and insert them into an email client. Instead of having plugins like Plaxo for seeing updates about your contacts, or having a separate (yet associated) calendar for events, why not make these peripheral services integrated into your email client from the very beginning?
In doing just this, Zenbe has created a tab for the calendar, and even your Facebook newsfeed, along with several other internal actions that do a lot of the things that email should do. File-sharing, for instance, can be done through a publicly accessible message page that can be viewed by non-members of the Zenbe service.
Messages can be tagged, searched, tracked, and shared, as well as converted into events and tasks. And the good thing about Zenbe is that it can import email from the major players, which include AOL, Windows Live, Yahoo and Gmail, and manages to pull all of these available actions into a centralized application that doesn’t feel so unfamiliar from existing email clients that you’re lost in its service.
That’s key for shifting people away from something that’s become so permeated in our every day lives."
