Can't argue with the webforum part. Webfora are an atrocious medium for communication. Social media, however ... it depends what you classify under the "social media" umbrella. My current employer has switched from IRC and Jabber to Slack for near-realtime internal communication, plus the front office deployed some kind of internal facebooky thing some months back that as far as I can tell only the front-office suits actually use. As far as the rest of us are concerned, it does nothing useful. Fifteen years ago, Cygnus Solutions used ICB (a sort of IRC Lite with standalone servers) for much of its internal communication. -- Phil Stracchino Babylon Communications ph...@caerllewys.net p...@co.ordinate.org Landline: 603.293.8485 signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ enigmail-users mailing list enigmail-users@enigmail.net To unsubscribe or make changes to your subscription click here: https://admin.hostpoint.ch/mailman/listinfo/enigmail-users_enigmail.net

> Even in corporate settings? Especially in corporate settings. Most employees don't like email and try to avoid it. Most of what enters an employee's corporate inbox is spam generated by that same corporation: company-wide emails that really should've been sent to a small group, invitations to participate in holiday programs, reminders to fill out timesheets, and the infamous inappropriate reply-to-all. (I once had over 300 messages in my inbox one day spurred on by one person RtA with "please remove me from this distribution list", which in turn 'inspired' 299 other people to RtA and say the same.) Corporations use email because they must -- not because they particularly want to. Lync, Skype for Business, SMS, Google Hangouts, and more, are all cutting deeply into the existing email model. > Use may be "declining", but I doubt e-mail is going to go away any > time soon. I didn't say it was going away. I said it was in a decline. ___ enigmail-users mailing list enigmail-users@enigmail.net To unsubscribe or make changes to your subscription click here: https://admin.hostpoint.ch/mailman/listinfo/enigmail-users_enigmail.net
