How To Use Shortmail, A Twitter-Inspired Email Service That Limits Messages To 500 Characters
To understand Shortmail, all you really need to know is that it only lets you type 500 characters per email and organizes email chains into "conversations" organized by contact in a left column bar.
Like any new proprietary service or social network, its usefulness is contingent on your friends being willing to abide by a rule: in this case the 500 character text limit.
Your friends don't need to use Shortmail, but if they email you at your new Shortmail address, they'll have to keep messages short to avoid being "quarantined."
Shortmail is threaded messaging, made simple, personal, and concise. It could make our lives a whole lot easier if we all jumped onboard.
Head to Shortmail.com and click "claim your address"
Shortmail, for whatever reason, needs your Twitter account to sign you up. If you don't have one, you're out of luck temporarily.
Once you authorize your Twitter account, plug in another email address.
