It looks like the smart guys at Xobni are getting their dues. Microsoft have a letter of intent ready to buy them up.
If you haven’t used Xobni, it’s really something that should have been in Outlook from the start. It offers great views of who and what you exchange email with, letting you quickly find ‘that file they sent you yesterday’, related contacts and threads. A very useful tool and a new look at that pile in your Inbox.

Sunday, April 20th, 2008New Year, new start
Sunday, January 13th, 2008In the true tradition of ringing out the changes with the new year, I’ve decide on a few changes myself. I’m separating the blogging stuff I do for myself (because my memory is sooo bad!) from the work that interest me.
So from today, I’ve launched a new site MinimalSoftware. Check out the blog
too.
The rest of my bizarre ramblings will stay here!
Firefox Extension of the day: CLEO
Wednesday, April 25th, 2007CLEO The Compact Library Extension Organizer, lets you bundle up all those extensions you have into a single extension, so you can re-install it lickety-split.
As someone says on the page to, they use it so basically they can have different profiles with different extensions in each – nice idea.
Anyway it’ll save that inevitable ‘What the hell was that extension called?’ moment if you ever have to migrate to a new PC!
A close second is ListZilla which creates an HTML page style catalogue of all the extensions you have installed, so you can save it away somewhere in case the inevitable crash happens!
