I haven't yet figured out what will replace it, but I know that there's *something* wrong when I spend more time sifting through and replying to emails than I spend on what all of the emails are generally related to (that is, software development). Although I haven't jumped completely on board yet, one of my favorite philosophies on email jives very well with what Mike Davidson of Newsvine came up with. Take a look here: "A Low-Fi Solution to E-mail Overload: Sentenc.es" http://www.mikeindustries.com/blog/archive/2007/07/fight-email-overload-with-sentences. It's hard to commit to something like that, but then again, so is trying to find a good balancing act between managing communications and, well, working. All that said, please email me when you find a better solution. :) I for one am definitely ready to give up my inbox.

You have all of these duplicates of files scattered. I know Google, and others, are pushing for people to move their data "into the cloud", of online hosting. With Google Docs, Google Calendar, upcoming.Yahoo, and a thousand startup 2.0 companies, there isn't a single functionality that shortly won't be covered with a reliable online host. With Fios and fiber optics coming along, connection will be instant and reliable. I personally will gladly trade in my inbox, but I don't think twitter has the stability needed, or the tools. Here's a picture I found that sums up my feeling towards twitter. http://www.flickr.com/photos/24973901@N04/2626278348/ I think that email is not the most effective way to communicate.
