“If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail”
Well apparently, email is the hammer of online messaging.
It is used for conversations, getting documents (from banks for example), file sharing, notifications and even advertising.
I recently expanded my toolbox to include tools such as Evernote and Dropbox. This made me reflect about the (ab)use of emails.
Evernote does much better job at storing documents and retrieving them later. Dropbox is so much better for file sharing. For casual conversations Twitter or IM are much better.
I would love if my bank sent me reports directly to the right place in my Evernote account.
