Changing The Inbox
from the redefining-email dept
Email is widely considered the "killer app" of the internet, but some are wondering if it's getting a bit worn around the edges. While stories about how spam is killing email can be found almost anywhere, some are suggesting that email has many other problems as well. Now, it appears that just about everyone is trying to "reinvent" email - but you have to wonder just how far it should go. While improving the interface can be good, it's always difficult to make major changes to something that people feel so comfortable with. Email does have its limitations, but so many people have already adapted to them, that forcing them to change again (unless it's done very well) may create more problems than it solves.
