Can someone remind me why are we using email ?
Paul Keith:
Because it is a common standard and there are still lots of things that can milked about it:
Some examples:

Easy Barebones PIM transformation with a few script tweaks.

The real reason they are using this method is the message carrier will work for peanuts.

And hopefully wont get any arsenic pop-corn: anyone else remember that Don Martin Cartoon (from MAD)? I've searched, but can't find an image :(

It's been a long time since I heard that name. Seems I remember buying books "Don Martin Steps Out" and "Don Martin Bounces Back" or something like that when I was a kid. Did you ever see the "Russian Roulette" one where the last guy in line shoots through the heads of the previous five? They thought they had a "lock" on that game. I remember that one for some reason.

Is that what that's for? I have an account... and still haven't been able to figure out much use for it...

Did you watch the 80 minute video on it? Or even the 8 minute video on it?
It's basically e-mail, IM, IRC, a wiki, and Microsoft OneNote all rolled into one, with even more features than what I've mentioned. Or at least that's what it's going to be as it progresses. I agree with you that without other people I know in there with me, it seems pretty barren.
