The Red Eye: It's the email, stupid By Tony Perkins Redherring.com, June 27, 2000 redherring.com Before we get into why we think Firedop has so much potential, allow us to provide a little background. Computer users spend 96 percent of their time in their email accounts (there are about 150 million total), according to Jupiter Communications. That customer base is Firedrop's target market for zaplets, which are email messages with features previously confined to the Web and to instant messaging. Zaplets are dynamic in the email inbox, updating as recipients reply and add more information. Vinod says they are meant to pave the way to seamless Internet communications. "If you look at the fundamental problem that has not been solved, [it's communication]," he says. "The real problem, where you spend your time, is collaboration, coordination. This solves the group communication problem, across disparate systems, using the most common multiple, which is html email." Best of luck.
