Looks nice! But instead of authorizing you access to my gmail account, I'd rather just forward you a thread. You could parse the incoming mail, and reply me the link.
For all of the discussion about how to create distributed social networks I'm surprised there aren't more things built on top of email. This is nice. There's a lot of potential here.
I know you'd miss the syncing, but why not let me just cc something@thread.is instead of having to gain access to my google account? It would be usable to people on exchange as well that way...
If you are using Google Apps for your domain (at least the Business version -- maybe the free one too), you can setup a private Google group and CC it to store such information and make it accessible and searchable to others using your Google App domain.<p>Of course, you can also use Google Groups for a private mailing list, but here you can store a thread (which, like gmail, is nicely collapsed) without having to synchronize everyone joining your group. Handy for document support requests via email.
First of all the UI looks clean and impressive. It'll be great if you could also show who all were on that email thread and may be social links of people involved.<p>On a side note, it'll be great if you could show me email conversation happening in mailing lists. It'll be a relief from those boring and complicated interfaces.
for eg such email thread can be represented in this format <a href="http://librelist.com/browser//easymode/2011/10/9/using-django-easymode-with-django-trunk/" rel="nofollow">http://librelist.com/browser//easymode/2011/10/9/using-djang...</a>
What happens if someone replies to an email that's out of context.<p>Alternatively, what happens if I have a group thread and someone replies directly to me rather than "reply all".<p>Looks super clean but I'm just wondering about some unintended consequences that might come up if I use it.
Now - I could definately see this behind a password as a means of managing/storing/retaining email with attachments for a business.<p>Something with a little intelligence which referenced meetings & other emails would be a sick corporate knowledge base.
Any plans on adding support for Outlook conversations? I have had great technical conversations via Outlook that I would have loved to share with the team, but ended up having to forward the convo.
