Why You Should Use Zenbe
October 20th, 2008 by Sam Guzmán · comments · http://blog.zenbe.com/smlrsThere are a lot of email providers on the web–so why should you use Zenbe? While there are many reasons (like great features), here are a few of the most important ones:
- Zenbe Innovates In relation to other technologies on the web, email is old. And, unfortunately for users, email providers are generally satisfied with the status quo. Zenbe, though, was born to innovate. The folks behind Zenbe started it because they were dissatisfied with the lack of change, and now we are dedicated to taking email into the future with new features and fresh ideas. If change excites you, you should use Zenbe.
- Zenbe Is In Beta Many internet companies have made the word beta a worn-out cliche. Some have used it for years on the same product, and with their lack of innovation, made it seem stale and boring. Others have made it synonymous with buggy or broken. But beta should be a good word–a word that means improvement. That’s what it means for Zenbe. The fact that Zenbe is in beta means that it’s only going to get better. Perhaps the most exciting part, though, is you get to be a part of Zenbe’s future through your suggestions and bright ideas.
- Zenbe Evolves Quickly Most email providers are satisfied to go months or years without significant changes to their product. When updates do come, they are usually minor. Not Zenbe. New features and bug fixes are added often, and the development team works long hours to ensure that you have the best email client now–not in a few years.
- Zenbe Cares About You Let’s face it, every company needs a way to make money. But many email companies make income their first priority, and the users suffer as a result. Ugly flash ads and often irrelevant text ads distract from what you want to do most: use your email. As long as the product makes money, most companies have little desire to improve it. Zenbe, though, puts users first, and our first priority is to craft the best email client on the web.
- We’re Listening I can’t think of any email company that listens to its users like Zenbe does. Unless you are willing to pay premium prices, it is near impossible to get help or offer a suggestion at any of Zenbe’s competitors. Trust me, I’ve tried. While we aren’t perfect, and we can’t answer every question or implement every idea you have, we really do care about your problems and opinions. Keep the feedback coming!
These are just a few things that make Zenbe unique. If you are debating about whether or not to switch, give us a try. I think you’ll see that Zenbe is different.
Folks, it’s funny. Most of this article is like I think about Zenbe. I already made Zenbe my primary adress and you did one thing, I’d never expected: I did not use any webmail-client since a few years. Most of them are not useful and ugly. Of course a design is something to debate about, but most of other clients only got a lack of ideas. The way of integrating the community is nice and I wonder if there would be something like a paid option in the future (it feels a little bit weird to make important, moneyrelated conversation with a freemail-client). Anyhow. Thank you so much for this service.
I am really impressed with what the Zenbe team has realized so far. However what business plan do you have in mind? Will you create free and premium accounts? add subtle advertising? Add paying extra services? I am curious to know.
They really do listen. I had about 85 emails after a networking event one day and got really tired of having to move the cursor down to the send and back up to new in between each.
I fired off an email, and there’s been a send button in the main toolbar ever since.
