If only I could recreate corporate email. <sigh>
What you’re are seeing here is TweetDeck overlaying my Outlook. I only use Outlook at work because I have to. I love the simple fact that TweetDeck let’s me divide Twitter into groups. I’ve organized this by my local friends and everyone else. TweetDeck automatically separates replies and direct messages.
If you could send files through Twitter much like you can through Pownce and have group chat functionality, I fail to see any reason why a Twitter *like* client wouldn’t work for corporate email.
This of course doesn’t handle calendering or contacts but it’s not hard to see how Web 2.0 could replace our current corporate communications tools.
And I won’t go into it here but my mind is spinning with additional benefits around knowledge sharing and cross silo collaboration.

Um - yes (an no). Not sure that “Tweetdeck” is the answer - but grouping of contacts into logical buckets based on what you are currently working on would be terrific. We are so ready for a communication revolution. Outlook sucks.
Ron,
I totally agree that TweetDeck isn’t the answer but it demonstrates how a Twitter like communication style would be so much more effective than email for 80% of our needs.
