I market an Enterprise Wiki. What we are hearing from the marketplace corroborates a lot of what this post says: People are tired of dependence on email to share and locate relevant information. People are also tired of “occupational spam” — the proclivity to cc and bcc people on emails not relevant to them.

However, enterprises still need some amount of email integration into every collaborative tool they use. They want tools like Wikis to be a good source to distill out information relevant to them, and in some cases they need email to alert them of updates to relevant content.

To summarize, email is not dead but is definitely loosing its sheen.

There is actually not much difference between facebook messages and email. To say that kids don’t use email is not strictly true in this sense. The main advantage of messages within a social network is that there is no spam. I’d love to see this built into next generation of email; the total elimination of all unsolicited communication. Anyone who wanted to contact me by email would have to ‘introduce’ themselves first just like you do in a social network. This would also provide a simple way for us to exchange profile information.
