Before email, communications teams printed memos to leave on desks or post on bulletin boards. Hard to imagine, right?

In the not-so-distant future, we’re going to explain to the new kids that we sent & read long emails (novellas, really) to communicate w each other.

Here's a baby step: Shortmail.com. It’s Twitter meets email. In fact, if you have a Twitter acct, you have an email acct waiting for you to claim. (I'm hedcon@shortmail.com.)

Imagine if everyone in the company kept their messages to <500 characters. Would we save time? Communicate better? Try it & let me know how it goes.
