Our team at Baydin loves the holidays — from the sparkling Christmas lights and decorations to spiked egg-nog and gingerbread cookies. We like getting to spend time with our families during the holidays even more than all the festivities and merry drinking.

We all have muttered something along those lines (usually with a $@*! thrown in) while searching for a particular message in our inboxes. Sometimes finding an email you need is like finding the matches. You see that box of matches all the time around the house when you don’t need it, but when the electricity goes out, it’s nowhere to be found. Emails have a way of doing the same. When you don’t need a message, you...

A few weeks ago, we released a shiny new version of The Email Game. But of all the new bells and whistles, we’re particularly proud of the Google Calendar integration and smart scheduling system. It turns meeting scheduling into a 1 or 2 click affair—and you never need to leave your email. It also makes rescheduling a breeze, allowing you to quickly propose alternate times. To show you all how it works, we put together...

The bad news is that The Email Game will be down starting at 10pm PST on Tuesday 10/25 until about 10am PST on Wednesday 10/26.

Boomerang for Gmail was originally built for many reasons, matchmaking not among them. But over the past year our customers have come up with all kinds of ways to use Boomerang that we never intended, including scheduling dates and following up on the ones that go well. We think that’s awesome and we made the following video in tribute to all of the Boomerang’ing lovebirds out there: We hope that Joe and Sarah live...

If so, did you ever think that the right time for Arrested Development to end might have been when it did? This blog post was triggered by a discussion among my friends about how TV producers never have the sense to realize when a story has been told, and wrap it up at an ideal...
