Workspaces vs E-mail
Ray Ozzie is proposing
Workspaces as the replacement for eMail. Ozzie has been thinking about collaboarative work for sometime, so I'm interested in hearing his opinion. Not surprisingly, Groove is touted as a good example of a workspace based system.
My personal killer e-mail volume come from the ASF. It's so large that I have a separate e-mail address that I use for dealing with ASF stuff (and other large mailing lists). Some of this e-mail is informational, and now that the ASF has a semi-reliable mail archive, I can probably unsubscribe from some. But there's a lot that I can't unsubscribe from. I'm not sure that Ozzie's notion of workspaces would really solve some of the issue that I face when trying to participate in multiple projects and conversations. I'm not saying that e-mail is great, but it's hard for me to imagine using Groove to do what we do with e-mail. Even if Groove gives me a workspace where I don't get spam and where everything is "on topic", I don't see how it solves the problem of too much legitimate input. Not that e-mail is solving that problem either.
