Yadda, yadda, yadda, blah, blah, blah

Picture 11 First, let me apologize for this post. It is part of my campaign to entice (coerce?) unblab into inviting me to be a beta tester for their (presumably) awesome email application. Picture 12 You see, I'm a visual girl. But even within that personal categorization, I'm an images girl. Look around this blog. Look up, right, left. You get the gist. I like bits of copy broken up by informative and (hopefully) attractive graphics.

And yet, email applications by their very nature are anathema to this need for "visual" order. Text upon text, folder upon folder, yadda, yadda yadda.... Why can't someone revolutionize the way we communicate? Especially when so many of us are in the creative fields where imagery dominates?
Picture 13 Well....unblab just may be the solution I've been looking for all my email-ridden life. Like your desktop (and your home) you can arrange it as you see fit. You can color code items. You can sort them without feeling like you're hiding them. You can flag things and even resize them to make them visually dominate your vision so you don't forget to follow up, or make the post, or respond.

You see, traditional email is my organizational downfall. No application - until now - has solved this dilemma. So please, unblab...I'm knockin'. Won't you let me in as a beta tester? Pretty please?

What the beautiful people are saying...

ooh. very pretty and organized. i love it.

I have been knocking at their door for months now. I'm hoping this weakens them in the knees just a tad ;)
