Skype Manager gives you total control of employee Skype accounts. In one place, you’ll be able to: create accounts, buy and allocate credit, assign features to employees and run reports. Previously you were only able to add existing accounts, and assigning features is new too.

Social CRM in your inbox

Posted on April 21, 2010 by Martijn Stegink

The web makes a wealth of information available, but it can take a lot of work to access it. Social CRM tools do the heavy lifting for you by analyzing your contacts and adding information to them.

Rapportive widget

Rapportive is a social CRM built into Gmail. With the help of Google Chrome or Firefox extensions it adds a widget to the Gmail interface which displays the information they found on your contacts. Currently they get their information from Rapleaf, Gravatar and Twitter, but they are working to provide integration with a host of services like CRM, helpdesk, e-mail marketing, feedback and event management systems.

Etacts does the same but also analyzes your e-mail to show who and how often you communicate with, provide reminders to keep in touch with people, track e-mail response and do conversation logging. The e-mail response tracking is pretty neat. Just set the tearm and click ‘Send and remind me’ and when the time is there it will show in your ‘awaiting reply’ folder.

Etacts send and remind

For the privacy concerned, clearly these tools need you to trust them with access to your e-mail data, but then you already trust your e-mail provider and the whole society is built on trust anyway.

A new era of feed readers

Posted on April 19, 2010 by Martijn Stegink

I never liked feed readers because they turn attractive and interesting content into a dull and unattractive list. However the concept of gathering your own sources and turn that into your ‘personal newspaper’ is great. It’s great to see a new breed of feed readers is emerging, enhancing your content rather than diminishing it.

Feedly works for Firefox, Chrome and with a workaround for Safari too

The early edition is an iPad app


Now clearly there is some work to be done. Feedly is not available on iPhone and iPad or other mobile devices. The early edition needs you to add your feeds and does not have online reader integration (like Google reader) yet. But it’s a great start!
