Email is still the killer app of the Internet: more than 300 million people use email every day, tens of millions for over two hours each day. These numbers have been increasing exponentially, with no end in sight. But what's new in email? The Internet's hottest technology: search.

Search-based email initiatives from Stata Labs and Google are resetting business and consumer expectations for the email experience. The results? Search-based email saves people time (sometimes hours per week) and also unlocks a wealth of information buried in email archives that is effectively inaccessible without search. Increased efficiency and productivity aren't the only hot new issues in email -- email security, RSS feeds, blogs, spam and privacy round out today's email headlines.

Dr. Raymie Stata, our Pub Master for the evening, is currently the CTO and Founder of Stata Labs. He was a search pioneer at Compaq, DEC, and the Internet Archive. As the co-founder and creator of Bloomba, Dr. Stata is leading the way in creating innovative new search-based email products.

At this Power Pub, join Dr. Stata to discuss the key issues and changes as email rapidly evolves:

  1. Google has gotten into the email game -- how and when will Microsoft and Yahoo respond? How do you intend to compete with Gmail?
  2. Why is search-based email so key to the desktop?
  3. Will anyone be able to compete with the desktop search developments in Longhorn -- the next version of Microsoft's operating system?
