Email Plugs Into Social Networking

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the faster-inbox-happier-rob dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Microsoft Research recently released SNARF, the Social Network and Relationship Finder. It works in the Outlook email client to prioritize and sort emails based on the relationship to the sender and other characteristics of incoming email messages. Trusted Reviews wonders if 2006 is the year of ordering information and reports on ClearContext, which does similar prioritization of emails as well as some email driven task management."

    Quick double check - yup, it's January, not April; I guess it's not an April Fool's Day post.

    Lemme guess - e-mails containing any of "Linux", "Open Source" or "F/OSS" in any of the sender, subject or body will immediately be deleted. E-mails containing "P2P", "Gnutella" or "Torrent" will immediately be bcc'ed to the{RI|MP}AA, the FBI and NSA.

    E-mails containing "$sys$fnord" will be ignored as ususal.
