Replying to email with SocialShake

SocialShake will send incoming email that is received at your SocialShake email account, to any of your current email accounts that you specify within the email section of SocialShake.com.  Once you receive an email, SocialShake is setup to handle replies.  If you want to reply back to the sender of an email simply click reply within your webmail client; type your message; and click “send” or “submit”.  Even though the reply address of the email is your SocialShake account, SocialShake will send the reply email back to the original sender.  This reduces copying the email and pasting into a new one to send.  By default SocialShake will “reply to everyone” that the email is addressed to including the CC email addresses.  If you only want to reply only to the original email sender, simply log into www.socialshake.com click on the email link to go to the email section.  Select the radio button for “reply to sender only” and click “save changes”. This will update your settings and it is not required for every email.

SocialShake.com email eliminates ALL spam

SocialShake.com now eliminates all spam, and screens incoming email based on how you know the sender and directs incoming mail to your appropriate inbox.  The following steps shows how to eliminate all spam. This example shows how to setup your SocialShake email and networks, and how it is used to eliminate ALL spam.

1. Log into http://www.socialshake.com and go to the privacy section.

2. Create your networks that you will want to receive email from; i.e. work, and family.

3. Allow into your networks all your contacts by creating a filter of how you know everyone.

The below screenshot shows how to add all your business contacts that you work with or used to work with at IBM. All of these contacts will now be within your work network. Repeat this step to add additional business contacts.

The next screenshot shows how to add all your family members with the last name “Adams” that live in Germantown, Maryland into your family network.

4. Next, go to the email section.  Add all of your current email addresses where SocialShake will deliver your email.

5. Finally, for every email in your forward email list, specify which networks you want to receive email from at that address. Below shows the family@yahoo.com email address selected and within the “Receive From” list the family network is selected.

This completes the setup of your email to eliminate all spam! Of course you can expand your networks by creating more allow filters or simply create more networks.  Once you receive an email, SocialShake will look at how you know the sender and determine which network they are associated with and send the incoming email to the appropriate address.

In the event where the sender is not within any of your networks but their email is legit and not spam the sender will simply receive a courtesy email.  The courtesy email informs the sender that the recipient really wants to receive an email from them and what they need to do in order for them to send an email. Alternatively you can add a junk email to the forward section; in the receive from section select “Everyone” then select the exclude checkbox; within the exclude list add all the networks that you are currently receiving email from.  This will send everyone’s email that is not in your networks to this email address until you add them to a network.

Below is a copy of the courtesy email.

“We’re sorry but you are not within any of ben’s networks. ben really wants to receive an email from you but please follow the below steps so you can start emailing.

Google GrandCentral is to phones as SocialShake.com is to email

Both Google GrandCentral and SocialShake.com are very unique and similar in nature to one another however they are both two completely different communication tools. GrandCentral is for phones and SocialShake is for email. Please note they are both unaffiliated with each other.

GrandCentral gives you ‘One Number…for Life’, a phone number that instead of being tied to a device or a location, is tied to you. You can use GrandCentral to centralize your communication, customize your callers’ experience, and make sure you never miss a call you want to take.

A video on how Google Grandcentral works is located here http://www.grandcentral.com/home/one_number. SocialShake works in the same manner but for email.

SocialShake gives you ‘One Email…for Life’, an email that is also not tied to a specific provider like yahoo, gmail, or even your employer. You can use SocialShake to centralize and organize all your emails regardless if it’s work or personal related so you never miss or lose communication with anyone you know.

Similarities:

• GrandCentral allows for one phone number to keep for life, and SocialShake allows for one email address to keep for life.
• GrandCentral sends an incoming call to the phone number you choose depending on who the caller is. SocialShake sends an incoming email to the email address you choose depending on who the email sender is.
• Both allow protecting your privacy by blocking annoying or uninvited users.

Differences:

• GrandCentral is in private beta and is invitation only. SocialShake is in public beta and you can sign up for your free email.
• GrandCentral only allows grouping callers that you know only into the following groups: Family, Friends, Work, and Others. SocialShake is completely customizable and you can create any group or what SocialShake calls a “network”.
• GrandCentral is very limited on filtering calls with the only option of filtering by phone number. SocialShake takes the complete Social Graph on how you might know a sender of an email. You can specify how you know the sender of an email by their email address, instant message, social networks such as Facebook, MySpace, Linkedin and etc., phone number, name or address, school, military, and organizations.

We all have very complex lives and we will go through life with many life events. Everyone’s information is dynamic and will always change around every turn. SocialShake.com acknowledges this by providing a unique solution for one email address for life.

What is SocialShake.com? A foundation for keeping relationships!

SocialShake is a new Social Network to keep everyone’s life connected. To completely understand how our service was started you first need to know our story. Here at SocialShake we believe throughout our lives everyone goes through several life changing events. These life events might be going to college, joining the military reserves, living in our first apartment, beginning a professional career and advancing within our career, plus many others. As we live and experience our life events we leave a footprint. Also we have footprints online especially with more and more people coming online. The online footprints can be email addresses, instant message accounts, and social networks that we use. These footprints are our relationships with the people we knew during that time. Over time we tend to stay in touch with everyone but eventually one may lose contact. That’s where we come in.

We believe our lives and relationships are complex but staying in touch with everyone we know should not be difficult. Regardless where we lived, went to school, worked, or even what technology that we’ve used in the past, we want to keep everyone connected through life’s journey. That is why we leave footprints of our life. These footprints are that extra piece of information that we associate with someone outside of just their name.

With SocialShake you tell us your footprints. Simply create your footprint under the Contact Information section within your profile. This information will allow others to find you. Now you can go ahead and list your addresses, phone and cell phone numbers, email addresses, instant message accounts, social networks, work, organizations, military, and school. When life changes simply update your SocialShake information and everyone will always be connected with you.

As we continue to live life to the fullest we never have to look back with wonder, we now have a solution to stay connected!
