Why Email Is Still The Most Adopted Collaboration Tool

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Tuesday April 4, 2006 @12:03AM from the first-to-market dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Isaac Garcia, the founder of a Web 2.0 Collaboration Software company, writes bluntly about why Email is still the preferred and most adopted collaboration solution around. 'So, why are Collaboration Software Vendors (Central Desktop included), keen on vilifying email and so quick to promise a practical alternative to the chaos of email? And, if the vendor's software is so much better than email, than why do users revert back to email as soon as they hit a snag in the system? Why do users refuse to adopt collaboration software?'"

I had a client of mine attempt to hook two computers together with a phone line. Wtf..

I used to play Starcraft via PPP directly over modem, no internet. It is possible to have a straight p2p dial-up connection between 2 computers, and it's pretty easy too.
