Mail smarter, not harder
| Tuesday, December 16th, 2008 | --Sean |
So many cool things going on right now, so few posts here covering them. :P It's a tough life, being irresponsible.
So, where to start? Perhaps you've heard that Yahoo! Mail has unveiled its new "smarter inbox", which finally makes good on the promise of giving you an actual reason to establish social connections within Yahoo!, for a more substantial purpose than just keeping count of your friends. Because the emails from your friends are the ones that you'll most likely care the most about, our smarter inbox pulls them right to the forefront on your Welcome page (as a side effect, also finally giving a substantial purpose to the Welcome page!), so they're the first thing that you see when you sign in. Once you get into your Inbox, you can also filter for emails from your connections, letting you weed out all the riff-raff if you don't have a lot of time to peruse your mail. You may not set up your Profile and invite all of your friends to Yahoo!'s social stuff just for fun, but maybe you will for the smarter inbox fun...ctionality.
