Why Can't Email Do More With Your Inbox?

  Categorized under: Web-Design-Articles

It’s really sad that email hasn’t advanced to a state where you can add or include more information straight into your Inbox. When will emails get the redesign they deserve?

I understand the limitations with getting viruses or really, really bad spam that weren’t intended for you, but email as a web marketing tool is still the same as it ever was -simple information to your inbox. No one monetizes on it, which I imaging is difficult to do since you can’t add javascript to send ads from any of the top online ad franchises, and unless you have a million subscribers no one is going to pay you to put their ad into your Inbox for a few returns. But wait, maybe they will if you consider the type of information being sent out. Maxim has a great implementation of this, but you’d have to subscribe to their emails to see what I mean.
