it is low bandwidth, you can access it on mobile phones, blind people can understand it with screen readers, multiple clients support it, you can do machine translation on it, etc.
Thanks for your input. I think this conversation has went a little through the roof, and better stepped away a little bit to regain perspective.
Right now I simply think text is better at those things, but only slightly better in practice. Not to make a choice based on it.
I just liked to have a way of communication which has the benefits of hangouts, while keeping some from email. Face to face, briefness, and the possibility to communicate when it better fits you.
Furthermore I think that's the future, and the way I liked to communicate and make business with anyone online.
We saw a jump from reading articles on the Internet to getting the same information through video, and I think the next logical step is having the same for communications. Just bandwidth wasn't good enough till recently to enable it, so still no software really supports that.
The jump will be from the social web to the interactive web. People instead of posting contents for others to consume, will interact through contents themselves. Because that's what really people is looking for, not spam from others but to interact with them.
Just my thoughts. Have a nice day.
