[FoRK] The death of email?

[Stephen D. Williams]

Young people seem to universally avoid email.  Probably because of spam.
I suppose their "shout outs" on MySpace et al are email in a different 
form, but it is a shallow step backward.

Communication in general needs to be cleaned up and organized much 
better.  My ideas are still only half-baked on the subject, but I feel a 
solution.

Anti-spam needs more attention, that's for sure.  Perhaps, at the same 
time and with similar mechanisms, semi-automated sorting, tracking, 
queuing, categorizing, etc. can be done.

Somehow, I'm not convince that the keyword / search pattern dynamic 
categories are the best way.
