Wow. I just read Boris's post on Bryght.com about this new web app called Mailroom, which sounds pretty nifty. It's a solution for businesses that does all kinds of things I bet you never dreamed your email would be able to do...

Once inside Mailroom, just answer your email like normal. Mailroom automatically saves the answers and starts to suggest them as replies for future email. What’s more, Mailroom uses the same advanced technology that powers modern spam filters to read the contents of your emails and learn which responses go with each question.

If I had a company, I would suggest it to them, or look into implementing... but I don't have a company, so instead I'll blog about it. :) I keep on being astounded by what the web innovators out there are up to....

(Sidebar: I am starting to feel like I'd like to be part of a company, in the sense that I'd like a regular job with a regular paycheque. Anyone cool hiring Sarah-style social change geeks out there??)

Sarah, I'd hire you . . . but I don't have a company either. But I'll put in a plug for anyone reading this who does.

I think you meant "Mailroom" like in your quote!

Corrected... Mailroom it is.
Mailman would also be a cool name... maybe the competitor product. :)
