I think your most telling point is to focus on the individual not the medium. Unfortunately aggregating the information we know about people and be able to see interactions with them across all mediums in context is still very hard. Plaxo showed some early promise, but lost its way. I looked at Skydeck as a way to get a better view of voice communications. I am currently looking at Gist which is trying to take this on, but even they don’t get that the “address book” on your PC and phone must be the access point to really solve the problem.

Thanks for your continued support of email as a social network. Many have said that email is the “original” (online) social network. Clearly I am biased as I work at an Email Service Provider (ESP), but my company – Blue Sky Factory – also spends a ton of time thinking about and living in the world of social media. We’ve built in Share With Your Network (SWYN) functionality into the application, but it’s still slow going. I think to the average subscriber, this form of “email sharing” is very new.

That being said, your post seems to focus more on email in the one-to-one sense. Human to human. Friend to friend. Co-worker to co-worker. I think if you expand the “email is a social network” to “email MARKETING is a social network” the claim makes more sense.

Do you agree? Love to hear your thoughts…

P.S. Wondering if/when you’ll be adding the “Send me followup comments via e-mail” feature to your blog. Possible?
