"SEARCH-BASED EMAIL: THE INTERNET'S KILLER
APP MEETS THE INTERNET'S HOTTEST TECHNOLOGY"
Pub Master, Dr. Raymie Stata, Cofounder and Chief Technology Officer,
Stata Labs, Inc.
The Power Pub drew participants from throughout the Valley, including
SAP, Hyperion, Fujitsu, NEC Corporation and Adobe Systems.
Summary below.
During the discussion with Dr. Raymie Stata, many concluded that
the speed and ease of "filing" through searchable email software
would, indeed, make our already overloaded business life much easier.
Others queried as to whether new features could be added to make
the business package robust enough to battle against the Googles
and Microsofts of the world.
Stata Labs handed out demo versions of their software, Bloomba,
and look forward to connections with other members of the World
Internet Center's constituency. If you missed this fascinating Power
Pub, please look for further information on Stata Labs by accessing
