Now they have to compete with established email services in UX and functionality, just to keep-up. Not to mention re-inventing others' wheel. I don't see why somebody will be motivated to use it.

We are psyched to be in open beta. One point of clarification, we support webmail as well as POP3 and IMAP email, which makes us a bit different than most email aggregators out there. To RDSC's comment, that clause refers to things that users write in "Fuser services" -- like our forums and blog -- but does not refer to your personal content (email, social networking messages, posts, etc). We take security very seriously at Fuser, and have no access to any of your personal content. We realize this is a bit confusing, so thank you for bringing it to our attention! Thanks for all the comments -- we're looking forward to hearing everyone's feedback! Thanks, Emily Hi Mark,
