Email to Blog?

April 4, 2004 16:19:13.738

Scoble is impressed by such small thing...

It adds a new folder to Outlook. OK, let's say Bill Gates emailed me right now. Let's say I wanted to post that email out to the world? In the old world I'd need to open up Radio UserLand, copy the email, clean up the HTML, then click post.

New "Kunal's" world? Copy the email over to the folder. It's posted. Done. No more work.

Umm, color me underwhelmed. Sure, it's nifty. But it's hardly that big a deal. It's also specifically tied to a mail client that I wouldn't use if you paid me - Outlook. Not to mention that there are very, very few emails that I would want to post to my blog unchanged - under virtually all circumstances I would want to add comentary of one sort or another. One more thing - if the blog server has a mail interface, one could accomplish the same thing via forwarding - from any email client on any platform. Yawn...
