Email is Dead

Is this really the end or this this just yet another 'end of the internet' article? There is no denying that there is a problem. In my own email box, spam easily outnumbers useful email, and this is after filtering. Of course, it may just be that my email reader is broken - Outlook is, as I have commented on numerous occasions, the world's worst piece of software. According to this author RSS will replace email. "In a decentralized structure, multiple Feeds in aggregate constitute an equivalent function to a List. Authors are Readers and as an Author has a choice to offer a Feed, as a Reader what to consume." Be sure also to read this reply from Chuq Von Rospach.
