Email.
Every inbound message will fall into one of the following categories:
1. Something that I need to remember. This could be some information that will be of future value in a project, or it could be the contact information of the sender. (Help me store it efficiently).
2. Something I need to do. (Help me track what I'm supposed to do so I don't forget).
3. I don't need this. (The delete button works well here, as do filters).
This may be easy (though I doubt it) for rugged individualists, but for those of us who work with a group of people, it's extraordinarily difficult.
I guess I am not really whining about email. I am whining about the interaction of email with project management, task management, calendars, and archives.
And how have I solved this? With a human being. Can your software compete with the $50,000/year price of a person? I'm interested.
(In writing this I realize that I am now advocating the hollowing-out of American civilization by making white-collar workers obsolete, replacing perfectly nice people with machines. Sorry, America.)
