Dave Winer mentions OddPost.
I had never heard of OddPost. But after browsing around their site, I like the company. I like their distinctly non-corporate persona. No marketing mumbo jumbo. I would be much more likely sign up for a web mail account with OddPost than with Yahoo. Why? Because Yahoo is too corporate. There are many layers between you, the customer, and real people at Yahoo. Something else, too. I would be much more likely to tell my friends about OddPost. When are companies going to learn that it's okay to let down your guard? To let real people in their company talk directly to customers? To show some personality?
