| Why it might be a killer | |||
|
|
|
Shoeboxed has a great idea. Internet shopping can overwhelm your inbox. Even after you’ve made your purchases you’re still likely to receive ads and discount notices, which you probably don’t pay attention to anyways. With Shoeboxed you can quickly reference receipts, organize coupons, and keep things tidy.

| Some questions | |||
|
|
|
Will people find a need for a separate shopping inbox? Do users really want another email address to contend with? Isn’t it just as easy to use your normal email service with select filters?

| There is already a service that stores your online purchase receipts for you. It's at http://www.spinningtornado.com It is a secondary service that is an added benefit to the fact that you can get paid whenever you shop anywhere online. they capture your receipt details when you confirm your purchase. | ||

| Privacy is definitely a concern, I'm just not sure that I'm losing that much from being on their site. It's not like my information isn't being sent through insecure emails already. Plus it gives me a pretty nice tool for something that will probably be even more advanced as the ShoeBoxed team builds in new features. Overall, two thumbs up! | ||

| Why it might not be a killer?-Privacy - I, for myself, do not like other people 'know' and 'care' about my shopping documents, drawing some kind of shopping behavior on top of each big company to provide them with my statistical information. It's enough if the company, e.g. amazon knows about my shoppings.-Receipts comes often in paper form anyway which is used for reinbursment - at least with shipped goods. And in some cases you even need the paper form for tax.-Another email-address?-You can keep your account tidy, if you click "no I don't want any newsletter" - that is usually sufficient. | ||

| I love the idea! I would definitely use it, however it will take me some time to add all my store e-mails to Shoeboxed, and send store mail to spam in my personal e-mail. I would imagine once all that's done, it would really help clean out my personal e-mail account. | ||
