I just signed up for Sanebox, which aims to fix email overload. It moves unimportant email out of your Inbox into the SaneLater folder to stop unwanted interruptions, like a fabulous secretary that doesn’t allow just anyone to bother you in your office. Some of the features that convinced me to sign up are the SaneBlackHole, and the fact that you can defer emails.

I am strangely hopeful that SaneBox will deliver much needed sanity for my inbox. Want to try it yourself? Use this invitation code.

Folio is a NYC based startup that tries to reshape how you sell and find digital content. Definitely keeping this on my radar, curious to see what they’ll make of it.

(thanks for the reminder, Amrit)

My lovely studio-mate Amrit pointed me to Kippt, a new way to collect and discover bookmarks. You can use it just by yourself or collaborate on lists with other users. Bonus: Their search functionality searches within articles as well as titles and user added descriptions, making it an powerful research tool.

Smallknot lets you invest in the small businesses in your community in exchange for goods, services, special perks and benefits.

Maybe your favorite coffee shop wants to build a new back patio, or your favorite pizza place needs a new oven. For a lot of local businesses, even very successful ones, projects like these get put on hold or never happen because of a lack of access to capital.

With Smallknot, you can invest in small businesses you love in your neighborhood.

I absolutely love this idea. Smallknot is still small, so why don’t you suggest a business that could use the help of one of their campaigns!

Wevther is not your usually weather forecast site: You not only get the temperature but also wardrobe suggestions. Made me smile.

(Thank you Amrit)

Go Team Mule for launching The Evening Edition, the perfect commute-sized way to catch up on the day’s news after a long day at work.

My seriously awesome studiomates of Oak Studio just launched Symbolset, a semantic symbol font. It maps symbols to semantic keywords instead of letters, the first icon font of its kind to make this happen. Symbolset works in any desktop application where OpenType features are supported, including Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and more.

Dont’ get it? Just imagine you type heart and you instantly get a symbol of a heart. Cool? Yes!
