Thinking Outside the Inbox

A video of Luis Suarez, speaking at the Web 2.0 Expo in Berlin, on his 9-month-long experiment in “Thinking Outside the Inbox”. Luis bas been trying in the past 9 months to use different social software tools rather than email in order to keep connected to his personal network. In this talk, he reports on that experience. Actually, I like the idea but I'm wondering why not to use both; i.e. social software tools and emails in parallel. I believe there are some contexts where it's better to use emails.
