Wow, I had the very same idea. But everyone I told the idea basically said: "email is a horrible protocol stack, you don't want to build anything on top of it"

Wow, I had the very same idea. But everyone I told the idea basically said: "email is a horrible protocol stack, you don't want to build anything on top of it" or just something like "email is dead". I still think it is good idea.
- _lce0 11y agoI also buy that it looks like a great idea, and will like to see how far it can get.
- sethjgore 11y agoHow far do you want it to get? Ping me at sethjgore@gmail.com with the answer. I have something under the wraps that centralizes email and all messaging into a form of interaction.
- phkahler 11y agoLike many things, it's a fantastic idea for people and a poor idea for business. The main advantage is that it keeps business out exactly opposite of how facebook invites it in and ruins everything. email is a fan-fucking-tastic protocol stack BTW. It's detractors all want to do something the user doesn't want or need.
- sethjgore 11y ago"fan-fucking-tastic protocol". I agree completely. it's time for our systems to centralize email as a first-class citizen and treat it as among the main ways to interact with the system. Ping me at sethjgore@gmail.com if you agree. I'm organizing something and I want to have people who think email is still underused onboard.
- sethjgore 11y agoAre you pursuing your idea? I am organizing a team focused on building a system that centralizes email as an essential mode of interaction. Ping me at sethjgore@gmail.com if interested.
