And who says that we want to (or should) compete with messaging
services? I rarely use instant messaging services, and when I cannot
avoid it, I see a lot of rubbish. I could easily do without 90% of all
IMs received without feeling the least bit sad about it. ;-)

This is a rather philosophical subject, but I see email as a tool for
passing on meaningful information. A "thumbs up" response is of very
little use to me personally.
