Email works reasonably well for exactly what it should be used for. If you&#x27;re having a problem with it, you&#x27;re either using the wrong collaboration tool or you&#x27;re using the tool incorrectly.<p>Email is still the most lucrative marketing channel you can devise. I&#x27;ve yet to find a better intra-office communication tool. If I&#x27;m having trouble doing it with email, I immediately switch gears and either get up and go talk to somebody or to go do some fact-finding.<p>Email allowed me to maintain long-distance friendships where otherwise we would have drifted off. Email is easily categorizable and sortable. My workflow takes close to a minute to clear everything out to where only open loops are in my inbox.<p>I look at everyone who wants to replace email with someone else like I would a 25 year old bro who thinks he&#x27;s going to &#x27;disrupt&#x27; something ridiculous like politics. Harmlessly stupid at best, dangerously power-hungry at worst. Look somewhere else to build your empire, buffoon.
