US start-up company launches micro-email content not exceeding 500 characters

Sina Science and technology news Beijing time July 5 noon, e-Mail has become the network era of many people hard to get rid of the burden, the U.S. social Entrepreneurship 410 Labs is about to launch a Twitter-type e-mail service, to try to solve the problem thoroughly. 410 Labs is scheduled to close its beta activity in Wednesday, releasing the shortmail.com, a service designed to create easily processed inboxes. According to 410 labs, by limiting the number of words in the message to 500 characters, Shortmail will "make the content concise." "Like Twitter, Shortmail also has a character counter that tracks every letter that a user types, and if you exceed the 500-character limit, the system will not allow the user to send information." This restriction also applies to information that users receive: If you send an e-mail message that is longer than 500 characters long to a shortmail user, the following message appears: "Hello, your information is too long for shortmail!" 410 Labs said in a statement: "Although the length of information is limited, but enough to let users clearly express their meaning, or ask a question to colleagues, but also can filter out a lot of spam, newsletters, promotional ads and so on." So your shortmail inbox becomes a place for streamlining information, and given the amount of information you can quickly understand and respond to. "410 Labs has more than once likened the service to" Twitter "in the e-mail industry, but it appears to be trying to become a Twitter email. If users already have a Twitter account, they automatically have shortmail addresses. According to the design, shortmail information itself is an extension of Twitter messages.　　In addition, Shortmail information can be sent either privately or publicly. "Email has become a burden to many people, even to the point where they don't want to use it," Shortmail CEO Dave Troy Dave Troy in a statement. Shortmail is designed to make e-mail easier to use again. "(Xuan Chen)
