It brings conversations, tasks and priorities together into one intuitive, visually-organized workspace, that's really easy to use and works right inside Gmail.People live in their Inbox but using it to stay on top of things is a chaotic way to work. Most of us havedeveloped less than desirable workarounds in our efforts to stay on top of email (flagging, marking emails as unread, even emailing ourselves to remember important stuff). The inbox wasn’t meant to be a To-Do list, but it's clear that email is not going away any time soon.Sortd is an 'Email 2.0' venture that re-thinks email and brings a new approach to the way people work. | | | | | | MPost | MPost means Mobile Post office.It enables any mobile phone user to have his or her phone act like a mobile post office.
