Xoopit Leaves Gmail, Opening The Door For…Gist?

You may have heard the news last week, that Xoopit will now be exclusive to Yahoo.  Xoopit is a great tool.  It arranges all of your email attachments, enabling a much easier search for pix, files, videos that were sent to your email account.

But as of November 13, Xoopit for Gmail will no longer exist.  And if you don’t feel like using Yahoo as your dashboard (no offense), like you do with Gmail, then I have a simple solution.

Get a Gist account.

On your main page, there is a recent attachments box.  And when you look up a contact or company, the attachments that have been sent between you and them, show up in the attachments section.  Very easy search.

So if I know that Ruben Quinones sent me a powerpoint attachment in the last 3 weeks, all I have to do is look up Ruben in my Gist dashboard, and that attachment will probably be first or second.  And while I’m there, why not look at his latest tweets.

Gist is really an impressive organizing tool. And I’m a sucker for easy file/attachment search.
