Xobni Makes Gmail and Android Contacts 'Smartr'

01.10.2011
Xobni for four years with its Outlook add-in that shows everything you could possibly want to know about a contact. Using nothing more than an email address and your own logins to social media networks, Xobni pulls in data from social media platforms until the only thing you don't know about the person who emailed you is their blood type.

This functionality has been partially ported to its new Smartr Contacts app for Android, which was previously known as Xobni for Android, and fully ported to its new Smartr Inbox for Gmail. Both are currently free and just launched in public beta versions.

Your Link to Every Social Media Profile

Privacy watchdogs may be put off by the fact that Smartr wants your LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, and Google Account information. There's no conspiracy here, but rather the capability to pull together all of your interactions with one contact across various social platforms.

Want to see a picture of that client who emailed for a quote? If they have a portrait on any of those social media profiles, you will. Want to know what your boss was tweeting about during yesterday's meeting? Pull it up in Smartr Contacts, and you may see everything else she was talking about on LinkedIn and Facebook.
