As Brad says, it is pretty obvious once you connect the dots, but I was still interested to see the NY Times article about the big players looking at their email services, and figuring out they’re not that far from having their own social networks.

It was good to learn about a new site covering this thanks to the comments section of Feld Thoughts; Email Dashboard. I’ll also need to write up what I learnt about Trampoline Systems and ClearContext at Defrag, but that’s for another post.
