E-mail, relatively static for 35 years, gets a media makeover from Xoopit, which launched this week on Gmail.
Yahoo opened a lot of eyes with Inbox 2.0, a socialized version of Yahoo Mail that integrates multiple social networks into the Web mail application used by more than 250 million people.
San Francisco's Xoopit is looking to take the social inbox schema up a notch with a new personal media browser application that lets users aggregate social networks and media content in Gmail.
Launched in private beta March 31, the Xoopit technology is an indexing platform that combs through the glut of files, photos and videos floating in users' Gmail cloud and lets users post the content on other social networks and blogs to share with their friends.
