To me it looks like Google has stopped caring about what their customers want and is focusing instead on things that they think we want...
As applications are developed that better utilize some of the structured data within email, do we eventually transition to a world where very few emails under a certain threshold are read...but instead parsed for information content. Thus potentially putting the receiver back in control of the overall experience?
There are a couple reasons I think we'll continue to read most of our messages, though: * If the automatic parser misfires on one out of 50 messages (a really hard threshold to hit, as we've learned from building BCal), you still have to review the messages it determined you "shouldn't read" - so it's really not adding a ton of value. Just saving you the step of clicking the delete button * Deleting junk email doesn't take very long - 80% of deletions happen in under 3 seconds.
That said, there's a ton of gray area for products like Boomerang Calendar, which facilitate the interaction you'd want to take, but don't choose it for you. We're working on some of those :)
Thanks for getting my brain's gears turning!
Excited that you have moved on to a calendar assistant as well. It's definitely where I struggle the most. Looking forward to using the product.
Thanks.
Even going to the about page, didn't have an obvious link to the list of products (http://www.baydin.com/). Just a link that says "see our other products" would be great.
Just drag the .crx file into the Chrome window if you're having the same issue.
we'd like to have the locations dialog remember your previous entries (and making your phone number one of those options is a great idea) in a future update.
The download page http://boomerangcalendar.com/beta/download.php link to /beta/features.html and /beta/faq.html.
Awesome job guys! Keep up the good work.
