Brad Feld clarifies that when he says "email" he means "messaging". But it's always been email.
It used to be a .plan file, now it's lifestreaming.
It used to be talk, now it's IM.
It used to be USENET, now it's blogs.
It used to be trn. Now it's NetNewsWire.
It used to be rec.humor.funny, now it's Digg.
It used to be Rogue, now it's World of Warcraft.
But it's always been email.

Indeed. It was even email within Lotus Notes!
