I still dont like Email, and here is another reason.
97% of all Email is nothing more then spam according to this recent report . Yes, Email is a critical business application nowdays, it is indeed a necessary evil, however if I can get my messages to customer delivered in other ways (Web, RSS, Twitter?) then that is going to be a better option I think.
Why would I want my critical business communication caught up in all that rubbish in the Email world? Most spam is caught by very good spam filters today I agree, however, so is some legitimate Email. And why would I want my business Email sitting in between an ad for prescription drugs and one for penis enlargement?
Even if your inbox is spam free, I am sure it is not Email free, so how do i get my Email the recognition it needs in a full inbox?
Maybe some marketing types know the answer!
