Sort My E-mail Based on Who I Know Well
December 2nd, 2005Yes, I’m a bad e-mail person (blah blah blah, you’ve heard it here before). Here comes an interesting product from Microsoft that will be able to sort e-mail by who I know well.
“Smith boils it down this way. His computer, for all its power, serves up his e-mail without distinguishing junk mail from messages sent by close friends. His dog, on the other hand, learns who his friends are and stops barking at them.”
‘If my dog can tell who strangers are, apart from friends…my e-mail reader should be able to do the same,’ he said.”
This is a social network thing for e-mail. Nice. I’d love to be able to sort my e-mail based on people in my social networks. Those who are “in” get higher priority and and those who are “out” get pushed down on the list (not to be ignored of course, just not seen as important as messages from my chosen group).
