After all, as I see it, the concept is not competing against email but the way humans would communicate in a knowledge driven enterprise and in future. From my understanding, email was built for 'simple' communication and not for knowledge sharing/dissemination - the key ingredient for a knowledge based ecosystem. Are discussion forums built on email tool ? Similarly are blogs based on email platforms? Same case is with micro-blogging services & wiki's. Why are their backbone not based on 'email'? Just like snail mail has least relevance in the 21st century, email will have least acceptance in knowledge centric enterprises: - which needs continuous doping in the form of innovation, - which is eager to tap the (tacit) human capital to stay competitive, - to have a seamless culture of transparency and openness. Hence, I agree, the need & time to change the model for those inclined to capitalize on their human potential. BTW: did Google compete with Youtube? They tried with Google-video but miserably failed. Finally they gave up and acquired youtube (like a frustrated giant) and other companies in which they were not able to compete! There are similar examples of (underdog) Microsoft and other giants too. Hence I don't think it is prudent to say that only the biggies will compete.
