Gmail Tabs: Heartburn for Email Marketers

Gmail Tabs: Heartburn for Email Marketers

By Jeff Nolan on August 29, 2013

Ever since the dawn of enterprise social computing circa 2006, the value proposition has been waffling between being a process killer to a portal killer and my favorite, an email killer. Stare Email in the face all you want. She’s looking back and laughing at you. Then I […]

The Future of Email is Social

By Michael Fauscette on February 26, 2012

Ctrl – Alt – Social

By John Taschek on February 21, 2012

In the tech world in which everything is recycled, retooled, and spit out like un-digestible gristle, one often comes across the phrases such as groupware is “dead” or “email is dead.” Oddly enough these are euphemisms or perhaps more correctly the opposite: dysphemisms – the substitution of a disagreeable word…
