Just had a epiphany while reading Tantek Çelik’s Communication Protocols [1]. A lot of people are complaining about the inefficiency of emails [2]. What if we read emails like we read twitter [3] statuses? What if we have e-mails incorporated as direct messages with file attachments as links?

The strength of twitter is the limit to 140 characters. If we force people to use twitter-like email clients (or a client that can provide a twitter interface), it will make people think twice before emailing anything - and email only what is necessary.

I see a great opportunity in this, at least I will use it, if it comes up in the market! :)
