Ed Batista reported on Josh Porter’s Social Networks Are Killing Email to which I objected.
Obviously Josh was thinking further though as he came up with A Messaging Proxy and Domain as Identity. Interesting idea, I like it. Amazon’s SQS could potentially be a part of it and provide the reliability that is needed. I reckon it would need to be distributed too, having your messaging system go down due to a server fault or a company glitch would be a big problem. I also think we need to keep email in mind as we can learn a good deal from it as well as remember the vast amounts of archived messages many of us have and need to keep.
