Title:

Obsolete?: A World After E-mail

Your vote:

Level:

Intermediate

Type:

Panel

Category:

Web / Interface Design

Organizer:

Tim Hwang, ROFLCon

Description:

Email is a massive time suck, efficiency-draining, and a creativity killer. Ironically, it's also the dominant form of online communication. Can we design a better mousetrap? This panel will assemble a group of productivity experts and innovative developers to examine trends and envision the world after email.

There are only a few email oriented panels. You got my vote :)

Mine too! There has to be a better way.

Sweet! Thanks for all the comments. Thinking maybe getting Merlin Mann, David Allen, Gmail Development/UI designers, Thunderbird, the Cultured Code team...

Thoughts on others who might be interesting to invite to this?

Tim -- I've put up my very rough draft of my panel - just click my name. Please let me know if I'm stepping on any areas you plan to cover. I hope to come at this from a provider and back office point of view (servers, protocol, mitigation, efficacy, etc.) and I've lined up at least one back office oriented panelist so far.

As for others to invite: getting someone from the Xobni team for your panel might be cool. Mark Schmulen is hoping to pull them in as well.

Tim,
Great panel idea. This does not conflict with my panel, The New Inbox, but i am sure we can provide valuable insight at both. Feel free to contact me after the panels are submitted to discuss.
