TopicR is a new way of content communications for email, or you may think of it as a "Gmail for content"

What Company Is Offering:
TopicR is a new way of content communications for email, or you may think of it as a "Gmail for content". TopicR means Topicr Rich.
Email is one of the greatest tools invented. It's very useful for message exchange. But it is not optimized for dealing with content such as attachments. It's slow to send and hard to consume. Email messages and attachments are also difficult to organize. These are just some of the daily inconviniences.

In addition, email overloading is another pain to most of us. Besides spam, unwanted emails from the people we know could contribute to the pain in great deal. For instance, your friends added you into the loop to discuss something that you are not that into or vice versa. The problem here is that a recipient has no practical option to block unwanted emails from someone he/she knows.



Unique Features:

Separating clumsy attachments from emails and make the email messages as light as they should be.
Processing the attachment contents so that you can view them quickly and easily, without downloading, opening and storing locally.
Aggregating communications and contents into topics so that you can only read the ones that matter to you.
Tracking the communication activities for confirmation and secure delivery.
Reducing irrelevant emails reaching your inbox by filtering out the topics that you are not interested.
