First Impressions On Fluent, The Startup Promising ?The Future Of Email?

Fluent-logoY Combinator's Paul Graham recently begged?entrepreneurs?to consider "frightening ambitious startup ideas," like building a better search engine or replacing universities. "Any one of them could make you a billionaire," said Graham. "That might sound like an attractive prospect, and yet when I describe these ideas you may notice you find yourself shrinking away from them," he said. "Don't worry, it's not a sign of weakness. Arguably it's a sign of sanity. The biggest startup ideas are terrifying." Among those terrifying ideas was rethinking the inbox, and in particular, the Gmail inbox. Although there has been much complaining about?the sorry state of email, very few companies are addressing the situation. It's just too hard. But there is an interesting startup to watch in this space, which happens to be thinking about the bigger picture. The somewhat stealthy?Fluent?is not shy about its vision either, offering a tagline that boldly proclaims it's offering "the future of email." But can it deliver?
