I keep seeing more and more applications that center around visualizations for e-mail. Forget your e-mail just being words on a screen, now it’s microbes that cluster together and swim around! This will certainly make my e-mail world that much richer.
Microbes just not interesting enough for you? Now your e-mail is buxom, scantily-clad beach-goers frolicking in the sand! No really, it is. I really wish I were kidding. Watch the demo video – it’s priceless.
Now I’m all in favor of visualizing data in ways that makes it more intuitive for people to view and sort through, but am I alone in finding this a bit ridiculous? A common complaint from people at work is that they receive too much e-mail, spend too much time in their inboxes every day. I somehow doubt that having to round up and towel off my e-mail before reading it will make that any better.
