Say good-bye to spam for good with Boxbe
About a month ago, I discovered Boxbe…
by accident. It was one of those
rare “wow” moments that happens when
you run across something that you
haven’t seen before and that you think
has unlimited potential.
What is Boxbe? The Web site,
http://boxbe.com/ says that you can
think of it as “e-mail by invitation,”
where you can manage the messages that
you receive in your inbox. You can
allow certain senders permission from
the get-go, but other people have jump
through an encryption loop before
their message gets through. In a
nutshell, that means you won’t have to
worry about junk mail getting through
spam filters or worry about legitimate
mail getting filtered out as junk.
Today, November 29, 2007, is a big day
for Boxbe, according to Boxbe’s
official press release:
With the release of Boxbe’s new
service, users of Yahoo! Mail,
Outlook, and Gmail can now create
an ‘email guest list,’ which ensures
that they receive messages only from
those people who matter to them.
This sounds great, doesn’t it? If
you’re anything like me, you’re
wondering what the catch is and how
much money Boxbe is going to cost me
each month. Sure, spam is annoying,
but I’d rather delete junk mail than
have to part with even a morsel of my
hard-earned paycheck. Well, skeptics,
Boxbe’s service is free. If you don’t
believe it, drop on over to Boxbe.com
and see for yourself. For a sneak peek

I had the opportunity to talk to Thede
Loder, the founder and President of
Boxbe, about the service and the
company’s recent announcements.
