The blogosphere is mildly warm with talk about Microsoft’s attempts to acquire…… no not Yahoo but Xobni.
Xobni (inbox spelt backwards) (Diversity coverage here) is a cool Outlook plugin that brings some social networking and efficiency functionality to the MS offering. Apparently Xobni has said;
we’re staying an independent company and will be exiting beta soon
In appreciation of Xobni’s attempts to stay independent (and how long it’ll last no-one knows), Diversity Blogs has a few invites to become a beta tester of Xobni. Just leave a comment to this post and we can hook you up quick smart.

Hi Ben,
I wouldn’t mind an invite. I assume you can grab my email off this comment.
Cheers,

Looks very interesting and useful. Really love the UI, too. Look forward to giving it a go. BTW: already have an invite, thanks.
Hi, I too would love an invite. If we review it, I’ll make sure that we link back to this blog!
