ITP TECHNOLOGY — Dec 5 — Software giant Microsoft has unveiled a new free tool called SNARF that helps users sift through bulging inboxes using a social sorting approach. SNARF stands for Social Network and Relationship Finder. The tool counts e-mails, sorts them by sender, and draws assumptions about their priority based on the frequency of interaction. If the tool proves popular with users, Microsoft plans to include the feature in upcoming versions of its e-mail clients. Users can download the beta version of SNARF.

Mark Brooks: Gmail allows users to see threads by conversation and search at lightning speed. This is Microsoft's answer. Let SNARF index your mail, then, from the SNARF window, try right clicking on a contact 'Open in thread view.' Nice! Your conversations displayed.
