Generally for me, there's something amazing about having conversations available online for the world. Email really is more like a modernized mail system; yes it's about, but it misses the core strength of the internet & the web to be broadly available.

It again feels like a very ineffective way to socially network. It feels narrow cast. No one else is going to show up one day and contribute something to your email thread. It's again not very social, to me.
