Our basic premise is that there are two types of e-mail: Regular boring email to which you must respond a few times a day at most. Urgent email from co-workers or the wife which must be seen and answered within minutes. YesImOnline is a simple email client that works with your existing email client (or stand alone) to help you respond rapidly to important email. It also lets you see when your important contacts are online. (Strangely one emails differently knowing this, for example I don't ask someone a question at 10:00 p.m. unless I happen to know they are working late) In brief, it makes your email more 'immediate' almost like instant messaging, without the problems inherent in instant messaging (namely that IM wastes a lot of time and interrupts your work flow). YesImOnline is a bit like a virtual office. It lets you feel the presence of your colleages and accellerates important work by decreasing the round trip time communicating with those key people.
