The first e-mail message was sent over 40 years ago and e-mail is the dominant form of electronic communication today, containing a unique data repository with rich context about people’s lives. Given the mass acceptance and potential value of e-mail, it’s worth considering what apps can be built on top of this well-tested, scalable and ubiquitous infrastructure.

This session delves into the lessons learned from building TripIt, a travel organizer and social network that enables people to forward their travel confirmation e-mails to automatically create rich sharable travel itineraries. We’ll cover the history of e-mail apps and best practices for designing and developing e-mail apps. Understand how to get your e-mail delivered, the complexities of interpreting e-mail from a wide assortment of mail clients, as well as spam, security and privacy.
