TechCrunch UK - Stealth-mode app turns InBox 2.0 into Life 2.0

Excerpt:
"The interface is pretty interesting. A slider allows you to visually morph these themes over time, so you could literally see how births, deaths, partying, work, marriage and divorce filled your inbox. Click on a word like “important” and you get a tag cloud of people most associated with that word.

Plus, the word and the individual selected are mapped out on a graph, showing a correlation between you, your theme and the individual. A pie chart shows an integration between people in your life and a social network you are a member of, like Facebook. The words are even all drag and drop. What this means is that by analysing your email you can get to the underlying trends and data about your personal or business relations and a host of other trends that are normally buried under a pile of emails."

"What this means is that by analysing your email you can get to the underlying trends and data about your personal or business relations and a host of other trends that are normally buried under a pile of emails."

Business software intelligence will need to incorporate these aspects, scouting and integrating the newest most productive technologies.
