My OIB Story

This post was guest-written by Superuser Chip Riley. Follow chipriley on twitter.I happened to come across OIB while searching Twitter during SXSW.  I have two Google App accounts, one for personal and one for business, and I was constantly under bombardment from mailing lists and various Web2.0 service emails.  OIB saved my inbox and allowed me to organize (via custom email addresses) and cut out the spam quickly and easily.  I actually replied to a user on GetSatisfaction that was complaining about OIB and how it "took over" his email.  I gave an example of how the service can allow you to weed out the spam (youdontgetit[at]myname.oib.com) and, lo and behold, got hit with some spam at that address a couple of weeks later.  I was able to block the address and never worry about it again.Also, as an Austinite, I love seeing local businesses do great and wonderful things!!!
