Integrate drop.io into Outlook
Wednesday, March 03rd, 2010 | Author:

mainSeveral times I’ve talked about the need to end sending attachments via e-mail and the various alternatives including Windows Live Sky Drive, Dropbox, and drop.io along with various ways to integrate these services into your workflow. For you Outlook users, the new drop.io Outlook Plugin might be the solution for you. Once installed, instead of clicking on Outlook’s built-in attach item button, you click on the new “Attach Files with drop.io” button. Then just select your file (up to 100MB) and it will automatically be uploaded to drop.io and a link to the file will be inserted into your e-mail. It couldn’t get much simpler than that.

Notify Mee
Friday, June 12th, 2009 | Author:

Yep, Twitter’s down again. Oh, and so is Google. Want to know when they’re back up without re-checking yourself every few minutes? Just head on over to Notify Mee, enter the URL of the site and your e-mail address. When the site is back up, you’ll receive an e-mail. Patience, not included. You’re on your own there.

feed your inbox with feedmyinbox

imageI must admit that I don’t completely see the point of this service as I see feeds as a replacement for e-mail but.

Let’s say you’ve got that one person that has mastered e-mail but there’s no way you’re ever going to get them to use a feed aggregator. If you can get them set up with feedmyinbox you can have them benefit from feeds but have them delivered to their inbox as e-mail.

Just enter the URL of the feed then your e-mail address and click Submit. Within minutes you’ll receive a confirmation e-mail. Once you’ve confirmed your e-mail address, you’ll receive one e-mail per day containing all of the new posts from that feed.
