Microsoft released a new instant messaging styled app called Send. The app is built specifically for those brief, snappy communications designed for in-and-out email.
Send lets you quickly and easily send any co-worker a message without a subject line or formal email constructs. Some examples of Send messages include:
Straight to the point: “Let’s chat in 10”
Super urgent: “Don’t send the presentation yet”
Simple back-and-forth conversations: “Are you in the Office today?” “No”
These are the sort of quick emails you send to the people you care about at work—your boss, your teammates, and sometimes partners or customers outside your organization. You’re usually busy or on the go when you send them, and Send is specifically designed for this get-in get-out scenario.
Send is available for iPhone in the U.S. and Canada, and is coming soon to Windows Phone and Android phones.
