ARE EMAILS STILL WORTH USING?

When Ray Tomlinson sent the very first email in 1971, his idea is just to find a better way to communicate with his colleagues. Could he imagine at that time that his program will change for decades the way everyone communicates?

In 2013, email is more than ever a compulsory communication tool for everybody: is that a good thing?

Why sending emails nowadays and to whom?

News to the family about daily life, inquiries to our bank advisor, answers to existential questions to a cousin, train schedules to a friend, the address of a restaurant for the next weekend to a group of friends ... 

Emails can potentially be used to deliver any kind of information from our daily lives.

Although today's instant messaging or microblogging applications such as Whatsapp, Facebook, Skype or Twitter have captured a significant part of the information exchanged online - leveraging significantly the amount of information received daily - emails are still alive. Why that?

Emails can not satisfy three basic expectations from today's internet users:

1 / reach as many people as possible or at least within our network with limited effort (Facebook, Tumblr, Twitter)

2 / provide instantaneous exchange of information (Skype, Whatsapp)

3 / develop personal branding, which is almost mandatory in today's digital society (Facebook, LinkedIn).

But on the other hand it also means emails are still today one of the only communication tool available online ensuring privacy, allowing to deal with topics such as the organization of our next holidays, a discussion about health issue within the family, etc, ...

Funny enough, 40 years after its invention emails are still trendy.

However, having a look at some of the new features developed by popular email providers such as Gmail, Hotmail (screenshot below) or Yahoo, it seems that other problems slowly arise with mailbox: automatic mailbox cleaning, cross tags to retrieve some messages, emails threads to try to follow a discussion, ...

What may seem like solutions to some fundamental problems such as tracking important information, could be in fact an attempt to hide a real problem: the concept of emails - with messages received and stored chronologically, the fact that content cannot be modified afterwards, etc - might not be suitable for all kind of private online communication. 

Is that possible?

Organize your trip with Ceepage

"It's not about the destination, it's about the journey". With Ceepage, it's also about planning.

Summer holidays are around the corner... It's time to get your sunblock, pack and relax! But great holidays usually also requires a good preparation - which is less relaxing. How about a little help, thanks to Ceepage?

Planning a trip is like working on a project: you need organization, time and involvement from everyone joining; you gather information here and there; you set a budget, and check different options. And finally you can decide: which places to visit, on which dates, how to go, where to stay, ... Once all those questions are answered, it's time to make sure you won't forget anything: hotel booking reference, flight and train schedules, maps, copy of passport, various checklist, etc..

With Ceepage, you can organize all that in PAGES, which means one single place to gather all relevant information.

In just one click, you can invite your travel mates to various pages and work on it together, in a collaborative way: discuss the itinerary, gather tips, share ideas, and keep all documents in a common workspace. 

Since you can create as many pages as you want in Ceepage, be flexible to get the best of your work: one page for each city you will visit, one page to list down the places you should not miss, one page to keep your travel documents. 

Don't spend your weekends on it anymore: access your pages whenever you have time, and get notified instantly of new feeds from your travel buddies.

And don't forget to create pages for yourself, to remember what's important to you personally!

With Ceepage, make the organization of your trip as fun as the journey!

Why Ceepage?

This is probably the question that has been, is, and will be asked the most frequently to us as we’re building up Ceepage. This blog aims at answering it, although we hope the simplicity and usefulness of the website will make you read our posts out of curiosity and pleasure, rather than because you need further explanations.

We will share here with you what gets us motivated to make Ceepage thriving. We will tell you what’s really behind the concept of Pages. We will give you tips on how to make full use of the website. And we will make you discover how Ceepage has already become essential in the life of hundreds of Ceepagers.

We might also ask for your feedback, criticism, or support. Because we want to make Ceepage useful for you.

But because this is yet to come, and because for sure we will be asked again the question “why Ceepage" today and tomorrow, here is a first answer:

The need for Pages…

As busy citizens of the world, we do travel, meet new people, get curious and have plenty of dreams or new projects every day. And projects - be it a trip, an event, an investment, a plan to learn something, anything - requires a minimum of organization, brainstorming and follow-up.

While it’s easy to share anything with the world instantly on Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr or Instagram, it’s much more difficult to find online spaces, private, where you can work on your everyday projects; alone or with the people you want. Spaces to catch your ideas, to do brainstorming, to debate, or to simply keep information about specific topics, to work on it in the long term.

Emails are made to send one-shot information; Facebook Groups are convenient for simple discussions; you can keep and share documents on Google Drive; Evernote lets you store and retrieve personal notes. With Ceepage, through personal or shared pages, we want to offer the perfect tool to follow up your everyday projects. 1 topic, 1 page. Private, easy to create, easy to retrieve, easy to follow up. We simply want to help you to get more things done; and doing things is probably a good way to keep us happy, isn’t it?

So why not trying? Think of something you have always wanted to do or learn, and create your first page now to make it happen!
