The idea of Blackberry's unified list really resonates with me! And I strongly endorse your two tips, they really help.

About your important/transactional split: shameless self plug but I'm working on a project that's all about a unified list, and one part of that is splitting incoming into important and not important. If you check it out, feedback welcome! garrett@[productname].com

I love that this problem space is getting more attention! I totally agree information is way more useful in context and in a common place. A meta layer would be very interesting, but I struggle to see how it would be technically possible to implement (outside of the browser) -- maybe for anyone except for Apple. We've been approaching a similar problem to what hey is tackling from a different angle, at https://www.twobird.com

This is great :D

Thanks for the heads up!

Plum has some interesting ideas, if you're interested in a different approach to this problem, check out https://www.twobird.com

If your address is still backed by Gmail, you could check out our new Inbox app at https://www.twobird.com

We think the inbox should support more than just mail. Currently Gmail-only, but working on Outlook (and more) support.

I empathize with the "didn't make me a repeat user" part of the post (at least for typed notes). And being a repeat user is very important to taking notes and making them useful!

The inbox is a place you naturally visit often, and we think that makes it a great place for your simple typed notes. We made Twobird to put notes in your inbox! It leverages the same tools you use for email to help manage and remind you of stuff for your notes. I find it very useful to keep lists and basic typed notes alongside the inbox I'm already working in every day. I know I used to email myself notes -- no longer.
