        @paulg I agree but does after look more like messaging vs. correspondence? Or something less obvious/yet to be seen?

        @JVFORM One can never be certain but my guess is that after = a todo app that people only later realize replaces email.

        @paulg @storming super agree a bloodbath is coming w/ Inboxapp, Spatch, Context.io all in. Tho could be majority fallacy.

        @brianleroux @paulg @storming We think it's the brink of a Cambrian expansion for new apps—eg: Rails/Django & Inbox is Heroku for email apps

        @inboxapp @paulg @storming I like that vision. Email needs to be unlocked. Its stagnant and beyond time.

        @paulg Twitter may be it. No one can direct message you unless they first publicly demonstrate communications you value.

        @paulg Till then, anything someone has to say to you is open to public scrutiny — a powerful social check.

        @paulg So much of the Internet today is merely lipstick on the email, IRC and Usenet pigs.

        @paulg Don't tell the 20 year olds & people in India. Doctors, students, mothers, CEOs switched to Whatsapp. After-email is not email.
