As if email wasn’t great enough already over the last year or two more and more sites have been offering users the chance to interact with their sites by email.
The first one to catch my eye was the fabulous Topify. While not part of Twitter Topify’s service is definitely worth a look.
Think of it as Twitter email notifications on steroids. It gives you more information and actions straight to your inbox allowing you to save time by giving you all the information you need. As you can see from the example above this isn’t someone that I want to follow. I can easily block, follow or report as spam by simply forwarding the message onto a Topify email address or simply click the link in the email. They offer a similar service for direct messages where you can reply from your email client by just replying to the email. Pure bliss.
Aardvark, Recently acquired by Google offer something similar with their email notifications.
Aardvark also offer an incredible service for interacting with the site using instant messaging. Honestly A-M-A-Z-I-N-G, maybe I’ll talk about it later.
Why isn’t everyone doing this? Are there any other good ones that I should know about?
