G is for Gist, G is for Go
September 5th, 2008Today, we are making Gist available for invite-only beta. We pushed the big red button at 2:30pm PST after countless hours of brainstorming, coding, cutting and testing. Thanks to everyone who helped us get to this point and we hope you will join us on our mission.
Welcome to the next generation of business communications where your inbox meets the web. Because it’s not what you know or who you know, it’s both.
The Gist team

Sounds like a great product with an even better team. Can’t wait to learn more and possibly beta test?

A quick note - interesting concept but in trying to send an email to “info@gist.com”, the bounce back is “undeliverable” due to an SMTP error.

Good catch Evan, that email address should be active now.
Thanks,

Cool shots of the interface, I’m excited to get a BETA account (hint). You guys should be on Twitter. I found you via CSS Mania today. Looking forward to hearing, reading, seeing more of Gist.

Looking forward to getting a chance to check it out. I’m a big believer that email as we know it has to change, so it’s always great to see folks stirring the pot!

Gist looks like a really great product/service, and I’m really looking forward to seeing it. Would love an invite to the Beta. Good luck!

Hi,
Do you guys need any more beta tester? This tool sounds interesting, so I would be happy to do some beta testing.
Also im interested in knowing how this web app can be integreated with other desktop tools? I find it hard beliving that people would be interested in using an web-based email manager, so integrating to outlook, thunderbird etc would be a must. Also the iphone seems to be quite popular to use when on business travels and on the way to work!

Very interesting idea indeed! I myself disliked the disorganization of email so much that I don’t believe that email is the best way of communication any more. Your concept is on the right direction to change that. I will definitely want to try it out. It will be interesting to see the difference between the result you provide vs. I will find on Google search. One difference I think of immediately is that you can deliver constant feed through email whenever you find something new.

The RSS feed link “Subscribe” shows an xml document, shouldn’t it be a more user friendlier page for signing up RSS feed?
