Many of us seem to have a love/hate relationship with email. You would think that after 40 years of sending electronic mail (yes, email was invented in 1971!) we would be experts at it, but that’s simply not the case. Most of us don’t give any more thought into the emails we send than the [...]

Share| When we launched our award-winning Outlook application five months ago the name had a specific meaning. Email is filled with miscommunication pitfalls and the idea of adding someone to the Bcc subject line with no context is so inherently flawed we wondered why anyone would use it to begin with, not to mention why some of [...] Share| There’s a great Dilbert cartoon where Tina (the tech writer) is upset with Dilbert for sending a “rather brusque” email and would like an apology. Dilbert says he’s sorry she doesn’t understand what brevity looks like – and the ensuing discussion goes downhill from there. That’s the thing with digital communication. We think people ‘hear’ [...] Share| When you’re a small, scrappy team with more ideas than hands you have to be pretty selective about what makes it into each release (like our recent support for Gmail). That means we rely a good deal on our users to let us know what makes the cut or not. A few days ago we were [...] Share| Just a quick post here considering we’re also putting out a release with more information about our support for Gmail via a Firefox add-on. We’re particularly excited about supporting Gmail because over the past 2 months we’ve received so many requests from people who want to try out Bccthis but don’t use Outlook or are on [...] We’ve been experimenting with different ideas to make Bccthis more user friendly and have come up with a number of features we’ll be rolling out over the next few weeks. If you’re already using Bccthis for Outlook you’ll be automatically updated with the new features the next time you restart. If not, now’s a great [...] When we decided to build the Bccthis application for email we thought long and hard about what other platforms would benefit from it. Email made so much sense to us and in just a short time we’ve launched a plug-in for Outlook and an award-winning application for BlackBerry. During that time, our coding team ran with [...] Share| What a great event this was! CTIA 2010 was really our first public event after launching beta versions of both the Outlook plug-in and BlackBerry application and the feedback I received has been invaluable. Press reviews have also been fantastic and LAPTOP Magazine, who first covered our public beta for Outlook , gave us a [...] We’re excited to announce the availability of Bccthis for mobile today. What traveling road warrior doesn’t need to send private Bccthis messages to his assistant, team members or significant other at some point? In fact, the whole Bccthis team has been very busy over the past few months and in just a very short time have [...] When we saw that the beta version of Outlook 2010 had over 2.5M downloads we knew it was time for Bccthis to support it. And now that we’ve been using it for for just a short time, we’re loving the new Outlook – and the fact that we can use Bccthis with it, well, that’s [...] There are many ways to make use of Bccthis in your day-to-day email. Once you download the plug-in, we recommend sending a couple of test emails to friends or yourself first. Then minimize the Bccthis panel until that “a-ha moment” strikes you. Some of the possible uses for Bccthis we’ve encountered include: • Preventing recipients [...] When we first decided to develop Bccthis for Outlook we knew that a mobile application had to follow quickly. Like everyone else, we live and breathe on our mobile devices and it made perfect sense for our first platform to be RIM’s BlackBerry, a powerhouse for businesses with around 40% of the overall smartphone market. We [...] Two weeks ago we launched the public beta of Bccthis and in just a short amount of time, we’ve seen a few really great write-ups (Mashable featured us in their Spark of Genius series and LAPTOP Magazine called us Simple but Brilliant), a ton of tweets and a lot of really good user feedback about [...] Well, it’s finally here – the public beta of Bccthis! If you haven’t done so already, please download the plug-in for Outlook and check out the Bccth.is Twitter client ASAP! Then come back here to finish the rest of this brief post… Great, you’re back. I’ve done this before in a previous post but want to [...] |
