We estimate that professionals today spend up to 3 hours in email communication, or in average about 20% of their productive working time.

Some main problem with emails are:

• Fragmentation
• Spam
• In-Consistancy

Especially for team leaders and managers, communication is the central part of their work. Written communication becomes more important in future through the trends of:

• Globalization
• The knowledge Ecomnomy

Communication will move out of the inboxes onto ‘collective’ web places.

This will lead to the following advantages:

• Contextualization
• – No Fragmentation of information!
• – Time to read a newspaper vs time to read the same amount of ‘newsletters'?
• No Spam
• – From Push only to push to places, pull from places
• Full Consistency
• – All information is stored once – No copies
