Google Email? Would You Trade Off Ads
For Better Email Search?

Google Email? Would You Trade Off Ads
For Better Email Search? 01/17/2004 10:47 PM
The big discussion that I've been having with a few different people over the last few weeks is whether or not Google would get into the email business - and, if so, how? To me, it seems like an obvious extension of their technology and business model - but not everyone agrees. However, the rumors are getting louder and louder that Google is developing an email product. The question is whether they'll be offering an entire "Google Email" system, or if they're just working on a version of their AdSense offering that would work within email (generating contextual ads based on the content of the email). Some people I've spoken to about it thought that people would freak out if they thought Google was reading their email to do its contextualization magic - which could be true. The question is how many people will freak out - and will plenty of others be more than willing to welcome the Google contextualization engine into their inbox, in exchange for the ability to actually "Google your email"? Many people always seem to want the ability to better search through their own email. I could see a certain willingness from many people to let Google place ads in their email in exchange for the ability to better search through all the email. If Google could figure out a good anti-spam solution, as well, it could be a real hit.

For years, SMTP server software was used to send and receive e-mail communications. These older servers, usually freeware, have created many delivery challenges. Most of the time, marketers, CEO’s and even CMO’s are completely unaware of these issues. The owners of ActivSoftware, in central New York, introduced a worldwide challenge to prove their software system (http://www.activsoftware.com/xms) is one of a kind in the email industry.

Email Postage Company Says People Want
Email Postage Stamps 04/21/2004 12:54 PM
Is it really any surprise that an email postage company has done a survey saying that p eople want email postage stamps as a way of cutting back spam. In the past, every survey that has asked people about email postage has generally come out the opposite way. However, when you ask the question in a leading way, such as: "Is it a good idea to shift the cost of e-mail from the ISPs to those who send mass e-mail?" who's actually going to say no? Of course, people want to "shift the cost," but that's not the same as saying they want to deal with email postage stamps.

Progress Report

Progress Report 01/27/2003 08:03 PM

I've been making some progress on polishing off the new web design. Below are some things I've fixed worth noting:

• Disabling of Javascript in comment links.
• RSS improvements
  • The RSS feed works in aggregators now (like Sinderella and Amphetadesk).
  • I've added the dc:date field to my feed now for easier viewing in aggregation programs.

And some things I'm working on:

• I am working on getting my CMS ready for release.
• New email validation for the comments.
• Extensive mac testing (the Mac I was using for testing at work was taken away for repair. I've heard Safari doesn't work with the dynamic stuff here, I'll be correcting that ASAP).
• Comment previewing
• Non-dynamic commenting
• Switching to a new webhost (reccomendations?)

Elsewhere, one of my two cats is being features over at Stonefishspine's ZenCat. This is the rather large, but perpetually friendly (despite how he looks in the photo) Monty. Drop by and leave a haiku.

NetNewsWire 2.0 progress report

NetNewsWire 2.0 progress report 06/25/2004 04:59 PM

We had hoped to ship NetNewsWire 2.0 before WWDC—or at least have a public beta released. But, well, I was optimistic. It looks like it will have to wait until July.

Just so you know, here’s where it’s at...

The major new features are all in testing, except for synching, which I’ve been concentrating on this week. As soon as synching is in testing—either this week or right after WWDC—then all that remains is adding a couple small features, fixing bugs, and adding polish.

In other words, we’re just about to turn the corner and enter the home stretch.

We have a large group of testers, and they’ve been doing a great job of banging on things. Stability is job #1, and it appears to be at least as stable as 1.0.8, if not more so. Performance is also important—some of our testers have huge subscription lists that we’ve been testing with, and we’ve done a bunch of work to make NetNewsWire faster.

(Stability and performance are ongoing jobs, of course, and we’ll continue to work on them after 2.0 ships. Every app could be faster and more stable.)

Dilemma

My dilemma is: when should we release a public beta?

On one hand I want the public beta to be highly polished, so that people get a good impression of the app.

But on the other hand I’m eager to have you get a chance to use all the new features, even if they’re not quite perfect yet.



As an example of what I mean, look at the tabs above. Note how the close button is on the right side. This is an example of the many little details that need to be cleared up before shipping the final version. (Should the close buttons be on the left, a la Safari? But then should the favicon move to the right? Should it be a pref? Or...?)

With a closed testing program, everybody has a stake in improving the app. With a public beta, lots of people evaluate it as if it’s a finished, shipping app—which isn’t fair to the software, but they do it anyway.

So I’m torn between releasing the public beta early, before it’s very polished yet, and releasing it later, when it’s very close to being the final, shipping version.

What do you think? Would it be dumb to release the public beta sooner rather than later, or should I just go for it, release it at the soonest possible date?

A few facts

I’ve mentioned these things before, but I figured I’d repeat them since they’ve scrolled off my weblog...

NetNewsWire 2.0 will be a free upgrade. Everybody who bought (or will buy) 1.x will get all 2.x updates for free.

And here’s a partial list of the new features in 2.0:

Searching
Flagged items
Sample style sheets
Embedded browsing
Smart lists (like smart playlists in iTunes)
Scripted feeds
Search engine feeds
Activity window
Errors window
Synching
Support for external weblog editors
Importing/exporting OPML with groups
Atom feed support
Persistence
Per-feed refresh settings

Email is like TiVo for chat.

I’m not sure why I felt like writing that sentence, except that I’m a big fan of the “blank is like TiVo for blank” comparisons. At some point, everything is either like TiVo or like a thing being TiVo’d.

I sometimes enjoy making up absurd comparisons. Clouds are like TiVo for rain. Soup is like TiVo for vegetables. That kind of thing.

Must We Pay For Email?

Must We Pay For Email? 12/16/2003 12:32 PM
One of the popular suggestions for stopping spam is to start charging for every email sent. The latest proponent of this plan are the folks at Forrester Research. They make the same mistakes most people do in proposing such a solution - suggesting that the benefits will far outweigh the costs. They suggest that most firms will actually save money because they won't have to pay for spam filters any more. They also suggest that email will become more useful - since emails won't get ignored and/or lost so much. However, there are also a ton of unintended consequences that they ignore. First, revamping the entire infrastructure of email for the sake of tracking and charging will be incredibly expensive. Then, maintaining that infrastructure will raise all sorts of other issues. They will need to track usage, charges, do the billing, and make sure people pay. These are not inexpensive things. It also acts to discourage use. Putting any sort of "per-use" tax will discourage legitimate uses of email just as much as the bad uses of email. Mailing lists would become nearly impossible to maintain, and because email would need to be tracked to specific people, anonymous email would become impossible. The basic idea of charging to stamp out spammers may sound nice, but there are unintended consequences that suggest it wouldn't be a very useful solution, while also placing the cost burden on all of the legitimate users of email.

Progress Report On PDF Archiving Standard
http://www.gcn.com/vol1_no1/daily-updates/25986-1.html

The Federal Publishers Committee is hard at work developing an archiving version of Adobe's Portable Document Format and hopes to release a draft of the PDF/A standard early next year. Committee member Stephen Levenson says the plan is to have a final standard out by the end of 2005, which will be submitted to the International Organization for Standardization for approval as an international standard. The need for an archiving standard is clear, says Levenson. Because Adobe encourages organizations to use its PDF specifications to create their own software for use with PDF file, that customized software may introduce extra features or functionality that make it impossible for outsiders to access certain segments of a file. PDF/A will codify a stripped-down version of the PDF format that will be platform-neutral. PDF/A will standardize aspects of meta-tagging, color representation and multiple language support, and will also require that all fonts used in a document be embedded in the document itself. Once the PDF/A standard has been approved, the committee hopes that software vendors will incorporate it into their own PDF readers and generators. Levenson says he envisions PDF software that would include the PDF/A as a "save as" option, making it easy for users to create archive-ready documents.

Want A Job Reading Email? 07/20/2004 12:40 PM
A new study has found that companies are so worried about what's going out over email that 44% now employ people whose job it is to read outgoing email to make sure company secrets aren't getting out. Now, it may depend on the company (and secrets) in question, but doesn't it seem likely that paying someone to read through outgoing email may be a bit expensive than the likelihood of real risk from an outgoing email?

Searching Using eMail

I can easily remember a number of years ago when using eMail to retun your searches was one way around the slow modem speed. With the advent of DSL and cable we do not hear to much abut searches being returned via eMail. The other day I was reading ResearchBuzz< /a> and noticed a posting by Tara on a search engine offering the results via eMail and I decided to check on other search engines that I had bookmarked in the years past. Here are the search engines that you can use that will return results via eMail and some will even allow you to email your search query and then respond with the search answer via eMail:

IceRocket Search

Making It to the In-Box: Some research in the ongoing fight between legitimate email and over-zealous spam filters.

Return Path, an e-mail forwarding service, has analyzed the results of more than 16,000 of its clients' campaigns (mailings that people actually wanted, like sales notices) to see how many of the messages were stopped by spam blockers or filed into spam folders. The results? Mass messages sent between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday are almost 10 percent less likely to reach their intended recipient.
