Boomerang for Gmail Helps Organize Email for Better Productivity

Control your email, instead of letting it control you. Every time a new message pops up, it is easy to lose focus on what you were doing before as you check to see if the message is important. Boomerang for Gmail tackles the issue of email control.

Baydin, founded in Boston, Massachusetts, in 2009, is an email technology company. Its products include Boomerang plug-ins for Gmail, Outlook and YMail, enabling you to schedule sending emails in advance, track responses and hide messages until you are ready to address them (then they boomerang back into your inbox). Boomerang has achieved more than a million downloads, according to Baydin.

Boomerang can deliver follow-up reminders to you if you do not hear back from someone in a timely fashion.

The company, ?passionate for productivity,? also makes the Email Game, to help clear out your inbox, and Boomerang Calendar, a smart calendar assistant, to connect to your Gmail inbox. Another product, Inbox Pause, can keep new incoming messages invisible for as long as you wish, so you can accomplish other tasks or interact with people uninterrupted.

According to Baydin, its name means? ?foretelling the future through magic? in Burmese. The reference is that Baydin software performs magic.

Mai-Chi Vu, Baydin designer, described Baydin?s philosophy to RESCUECOM. ?Today, Baydin helps its customers focus on email that matters, when it matters. Our tools allow for reading and responding to messages faster and more decisively than before. These achievements mark only a small part of how we envision the company growing.?

?Our mission,? she continued, ?is to make productivity software that encourages people to be more productive. Some of the beliefs that will guide us as we work toward this mission include:

  • context-aware
  • sensible defaults
  • persuasive software
  • communication first
  • data-driven
  • respectful software.?

Hoping to lead a productivity revolution, Baydin wants to add value to email. Using psychological research, the Baydin team plans to build on behavioral principles in product design and use.

Frequent emailers depend on Internet security to keep their messages private. Contact a computer professional, such as RESCUECOM, if you think you have a security problem.

Boomerang Basic is free if you schedule 10 or fewer messages per month. The Personal plan, at $4.99 a month, gives you unlimited messages, as does the Professional plan, at $14.99 a month.

If you store many photos and other items requiring a lot of space on your computer, you could consider online storage to restore more computer memory.

Boomerang for Gmail is also available for mobile phones to schedule emails and reminders when you are away from your computer. It works on these smartphones ? iPhone, iPad, Android, BlackBerry and Windows 7 Phone.
