Like Google Buzzzzz but Better?


@ least that's what they say themselves: a Dutch startup company is launching an application called Inbox2 (yawn) that aims at uniting different kinds of communication flows into one solution. It's not build like a software app but as a platform. Users can add whatever service they want to integrate.

Sounds better than Google Buzz which, let's be honest, focusses primarily on keeping you within Google.

Inbox2 claimes it can handle mails from Gmail, Yahoo Mail, Hotmail, Outlook, Microsoft Exchange, AOL and any other IMAP- or POP3-account. On top of that it links to social platforms (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and, being Dutch, Hyves).

Want to try it out? For now the beta version is free but users who'll want to use and synchronise web, desktop and mobile will find themselves paying a fee. Which, if this thing does what it says it does, would not even be too much of a threshhold.
