All I want for Chriiiisstmas (as pronounced in Better Off Dead -http://www.xenafan.com/movies/bod/sounds/christmas.wav) (holiday of choice) isXobni

December 2009Dear IT Administrator,I live in my inbox. Not a house. Not a yurt (building). I inhabit my inbox like a plethora of (gigantic number) hours a week -- this is not an exaggeration (What is a Plethora, El Guapo?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mTUmczVdik#t=33s). I don’t ask for much, only somethingto make my inbox more livable. It’s called Xobni.Xobni -- “inbox” backwards -- is a piece of software the size of a mustard seed (somethingincredibly small) that lives on my machine and makes Microsoft Outlook a happier place to be. Their simple sidebar allows me to access valuable information about the folks I’m communicatingwith – things like contact data, profile photos, status updates, files we’ve exchanged, evendelicious scoops of Nutella (noun). Ok, it probably can’t do that last thing, but you’d be amazedby how much it can do. All of these features not only improve the usability of my inbox, but alsosaves the average employee 30-60 minutes per week.

Imagine all the work I could get done if Iweren’t digging and searching through emails for a specific message from Baby Jesus (importantexecutive or person who sends a lot of emails)!Better yet, Xobni now has an enterprise offering, allowing IT administrators the abilityto deployXobni Plus to your entire company, andcustomize the product in a way that conforms tocompany standards and policies. You can pull in your LDAP to make it easy for me and otheremployees to quickly access employee contact information and customize tabs (like adding acompany intranet or database like Salesforce), giving us one-click access to valuable informationwhen we need it. BAZINGA (exclamation)!And there’s something in it for you too. If you mention this friggin’ (adjective) letter uponinquiring about Xobni Enterprise, you’ll get 10% off from the start. And you’ll be a hero formaking email friendlier for all of us.So, you see, it’s a win-win: I’ll be happier at work with Xobni (maybe I should send this to HRtoo!?), and you’ll get even more work out of me – not to mention a sweet discount on a sweetproduct.What do you say? Can you make my Chriiiisstmas (holiday of your choice) wish of getting Xobnion my machine come true?Here’s to Happy Holidays and a nekkid ahem…festive (adjective) New Year.Nan Palmero, who else?
