Email failing

Quote of the day:
There's too much wrong with email. 14-year-old girls know this. I'm just trying to catch up.
Sure. I'm finding myself using Twitter's direct messaging more for on-the-fly contacts (and I really wish Twitter would buy some new servers to compensate). Email is good for moving large texts and small attachments, but it doesn't work well for short conversations, group conversations, public conversations, or especially mobile conversations. That's why people are expanding their media ecosystems; email no longer serves as a best-fit solution for the many communication tasks that we've funneled through it.

  2. Hi, David. Here's the Amazon page and the Cambridge.org page; both of them are listing just the subtitle right now, but that should be fixed by the time the book comes out in September/October.
