Email as a collaboration tool

Found on slashdot today…

So, why are Collaboration Software Vendors (Central Desktop included), keen on vilifying email and so quick to promise a practical alternative to the chaos of email? And, if the vendor’s software is so much better than email, than why do users revert back to email as soon as they hit a snag in the system? Why do users refuse to adopt collaboration software?

The Good In Email (or Why Email Is Still The Most Adopted Collaboration Tool).

Interesting read. Reminds me of all the times I’ve built a tool that gathered dust while the people who it was written for continue to use Excel.

Sigh.
