Backpack from 37signals
The folks at 37signals have put out some more previews of Backpack: Number three and number four.
Backpack takes a fresh look at email. However, instead of just sending email to someone else’s email address, Backpack will receive an email and turn it into something useful on the web. This isn’t just about posting flat content to the web via email, it’s about turning flat emails into functional web pages.
Judging by how much email I get (approximate 1000 messages a day between work and home) this sounds like a great idea.
Backpack will launch this coming Tuesday, it appears. While that day will be dominated by a massive group presentation for MST 523, it'll be fun to look at that evening.
