Pindi-based Orgoo adds video to email

Orgoo is amongst 4 startups that is changing the face of email. According to Chris Morrison of Venture Beat, in ten years, an internet eternity, web-based email has only made token improvements, moving from Hotmail to Gmail. Meanwhile, instant messaging and social networks have rapidly developed. Fuser and Orgoo both centralize communication, whether from email, instant messaging, a social network or even mobile SMS and video, in one simple interface.
While each is different, says Morrison, they recognize the same disease, and offer the same cures. Sean Rad, co-founder of Orgoo, says that the aim is to first aggregate all communication; next, integrate the separate streams into a single work flow; and finally, organize, to increase the efficiency and usefulness of email.
Orgoo aggregates communication, but with an interface that more closely resembles traditional email. And while it can access any type of email account, Orgoo adds in instant messaging accounts rather than social networks, and also has a video chat option.
