I’ve been using this tool for over a year now and it has saved me so much time! Henry introduced me to it about a year ago and he said have you ever heard of Xobni? It sounded kind of strange to me but then he explained that it was just inbox spelled backwards. Ahh,makes sense!
Xobni is a tool that works inside of Microsoft Outlook. It allows you to search for things so quickly. Suppose you are in a scramble to get to your next meeting and you need the file that Bob sent you but you can’t remember when he sent it. Now you go to search for his name in Outlook but Bob has to email you all the time so you have hundreds of emails from him. With Xobni you will get a return like this just by typing in Bob’s name.
It shows you every conversation you have had with this person and if you hover over those conversations it will show you a selection from that email so that you do not have to open every single one. In a seperate section it will also show you every attachment that has been sent! So easy and convenient.
I just downloaded a new version of Xobni today and found that it will now link a person’s email address to Partners such as Facebook and LinkedIn. It’s pretty cool. I just wanted to share.
Here is a link to the website if you are interested in trying it out. http://www.xobni.com/learnmore/. Come back and comment to let me know if you would like to see more tips like this.
