This week’s French product recommendation goes out to Sparrow<\/a>, a fabulous mail client for Mac developed in France.

If Dave Morin likes it, I do too.<\/h2>\n

To be fair, Sparrow has been around for a while. In fact, Techcrunch covered the product<\/a> when it received funding from Kima Ventures<\/a>, Path<\/a> CEO Dave Morin and Tweetie founder Loren Brichter. In all honesty, I was shown this product prior to the Kima funding but I kind of glossed over it since I didn’t have a Mac at the time. Shame on me.<\/strong><\/p>\n

When Gmail drives you nuts…<\/h2>\n

So Sparrow happily popped back into my life yesterday when I was being kicked out of Gmail every 2 seconds. It was so bad that it was eating into my productivity – and I discovered that tons of people have trouble with this. People on Twitter started recommending Sparrow to me – that mail client that I had kind of ignored when I was in my pre-Mac days. And low and behold, it is just an absolutely fabulous “Made in France” product.<\/p>\n

Seamless and social.<\/h2>\n

If you are anything like me, you probably have Gmail accounts by the dozen. Well Sparrow is not only fabulous for people with multiple accounts – it’s also incredibly seamless and \u00a0gives your email a personal touch by importing their Facebook profile photos. But it’s not overly social either (which is a big concern of mine whenever there is FB integration). In addition, all the functions are incredibly evident – I honestly don’t think I’ve been this happy with my email in ages. I could literally sit there and smile at my inbox all day. So if you’re looking for an example of a terrific product from France, well, here it is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
