Anymails

Anymails is a fun and informative visualizer for your email inbox.  It represents email using the natural metaphor of microbes.  Different species of microbes represent email from different groups of people (i.e. Family, Job, Spam).  The  size and color of the microbes show the age of the email and the hairiness indicates the email's unread, read, or responded to status.  Anymails was developed as the thesis project of Carolin Horn with coding by Florian Jenett.  Great use of Flash and Processing ladies!  (Found through Josh Spear).
