I made the point that this is actually pretty exciting, because a corporate-funded internal network would be focused around *communication* instead of page views for ad sales. So when someone contacts you through the site, it would just send you an email! The message would be stored at the site, too, making it searchable. But the immediate use would be direct to you, without the annoying intermediary.

I've seen some of your posts on the topic - glad you're chasing. I have to think there's a startup hermit or two working on this as well - seems so fundamentally screwed up, and <strong>maybe</strong> even easy to correct. Hey Chris, thanks for stopping in.

I totally agree with this. It's something I've been working on, using Jabber as the backend protocol to unify the messaging services from and between each network. It does require a kind of smart inbox, but I think that's coming too. Anyway, you captured the situation brilliantly. Right on. I totally agree with this.
