Email Is Not Dead, I Don’t Care What Mark Zuckerberg Says

• untog 15y ago
  TL;DR: E-mail software company says that e-mail is not dead. I don't think Zuckerberg really thought he was going to replace e-mail- it's just one of those quotable lines you say so that people remember your new shiny thing. That said, plenty of people do use Facebook messages in places e-mail would traditionally be used. I can see why- no spam, every message is from an individual and not a notification service... it's not right in all situations, but it does have advantages. In fact, the existence of Glider ("Glider makes modern email more enjoyable and productive by automatically sorting your messages") suggests that there are real problems with e-mail today.

    Right on, Zuckerberg is designing his informal messaging service to reduce cognitive overload that once made email a pain. Glider recognizes that email is not going away and cognitive task switching remains a problem for the more formal messages we now send/receive in our inbox.

  You need to add some more screenshots of your product. I cant tell at all what glider does.
