E-mail is so 1995

July 24th, 2004

A great quote at the end of this article on RSS:

“Keeping up with the news with RSS is wonderfully addictive fun. In no time, you’ll be spending more time reading what you want and less time sifting through junk. Just beware: Your browser and e-mail program could become insanely jealous.”

I was talking about e-mail with a techie friend of mine today. I told him how much and why I hate e-mail and how outdated it is. He asked for a better way to communicate online. My answer? RSS and IM. I told him, I don’t know how RSS will be the future of communication between individuals, but I know that it will be. In the meantime, I’ll take IM over e-mail anyday.
