Cc:Betty: Make Any E-Mail a Message Board

By Edward Albro, PC World

Cc:Betty lets you transform any e-mail message into an online discussion thread, complete with storage for videos, photos, and files. You simply compose your message as usual, add any attachments, and then include betty@ccbetty.com in the cc (“carbon copy”) field of your e-mail form. You and all of your recipients get a notification from the Web service letting everyone know that the e-mail message and its attachments now have a home on the Cc:Betty site. Your friends can reply to your e-mail in the usual way, or they can make a comment or upload new material at the Web site. Cc:Betty does its job quite competently, but whether this service solves any fundamental problem isn’t clear to me.
