Friday Fix: 3 solutions to solve your social web inbox problem
Friday Fix are short post on niche topics/plugins/tools/presentations or you could call them short simple tips.
One problem with the social web now is that we have too many inboxes. We have our work email, personal email, Facebook inbox mail, Facebook email from Facebook inbox, Twitter direct messages, Twitter new followers email, Flickr email, google alerts, real-time brand notifications and I think you get the picture. Depending on how “social” you are, managing your inbox can be very challenging and time consuming. This all while we wait to see how Google Wave will evolve, it could be a social web inbox platform or just another inbox to manage. Regardless here are three solutions to help solve your social web inbox problem.
1. Inbox2 – http://www.inbox2.com
2. Threadsy – https://www.threadsy.com
3. Gist – http://gist.com/
In the future I’ll record a screencast of each of the services for a further comparison.
Are you using any of the three? If so let me know how it has helped you manage your social web inbox?

I actually like these 2 better. Threadsy is nice but a little too much going on for me and Gist is confusing. Inbox2 is promising.

Hey Amani,
I dabble with all three. Inbox2 has a lot of potential. Gist is a different animal than the other two, I use that everyday for CRM and watching. Inbox2 and Threadsy makes me participate more. Threadsy seems to do things to my browsers, no matter if I’m on Firefox or Chrome, I get slowed down quite a bit. But if Threadsy let you add a signature to your email, it would be really dynamite.
Nice job, Wayne and congrats on the new gig.
