As long as these "hundred of services" are incompatible with each others, emails will still be useful. Can I call a skype contact from what's app or viber or app X W or Z ? no ? so don't expect me to install app X W or Z or even skype, i'll stick with emails. Sure there jabber and Co, but all these hip apps seem to reject any form of open protocols. The web is successful, emails are successful because both are based on open standards.

But I see e-mail heading in a troublesome direction regarding this. Maybe for a new messaging protocol, there need to be a computational cost, or blockchain for sending messages, to prevent fraud and spam.
