Harvard Students Hatch Email Recall Tool

PlutoMailSlideWe’ve all been there, on the sender or recipient end. And usually, when someone quickly blasts out a second email subject-lined “John Doe Would Like to Recall the Message…”, it only leads people who previously ignored to stop and take a look at the referenced wreckage.

Per a recent Entrepreneur magazine article, Harvard Law students David Gobaud and Lindsay Lin are aiming to replace this lame rigmarole with a whole new M.O. Their idea is genius:

Ever send an email and immediately regret it? Or realize you’ve misspelled the recipient’s name, and want to correct it? Or just don’t like the idea of a catty remark about a co-worker sitting in a friend’s inbox for all eternity? Is the inherent permanency of email crippling your style?…

Enter Pluto Mail, a free Web-based email service or, more succinctly, the Snapchat of email.
