could you take a vacation from email?
Here's a cool auto-reply email that harks back to the old days when people took vacations. Without laptops. Or mobile devices. Or wifi.

all of your social networks, in one email
Don't have time for all of your six million friends and thirty different social networks? No worries. Nutshell Mail sends you a daily recap of all of your updates, notifications and messages neatly summarized in a single email. Take it all in at your leisure, without getting in the way of the workday.
Sounds like a good plan for anyone who doesn't need an always on, always connected lifestyle, or as a double check that you haven't missed anything important. From @scottyhendo

sure, google wave is confusing, but how does it stack up to other tools?
You've played with Google Wave, but maybe you're still unsure about how it sits in comparison to other more established tools like email, IM, forums and wikis.
Here's a handy reference graphic that answers all of your questions, while illustrating the power of the wave. Add this to your next PowerPoint to the board, and they'll think you're the smartest person ever.

windows users: another 5 years of crappy email?
There's a new version of Outlook 2010 coming out, and it seems that a lot of Windows users are worried that they're going to be stuck with a few years of crappy looking, broken email. Rather than giving up and switching to Macs, they're doing something about it.
The Outlook revolutionaries have created Outlook’s broken—Let’s fix it, a site devoted to raising awareness about the problem and attempting to get Microsoft to do something about it. They're asking all Outlook users to join the revolution. It's easy - you only have click on the button that says "have your say now." Thanks, Justus!

google is reinventing email
Google is rethinking what's possible within the inbox. In short, you'll be able to do so much more from inside the GMail inbox. From WebMonkey:
Most of us use e-mail, just addressing a new message to a bunch of people. This starts a thread, which eventually gets twisted and fragmented into side conversations and becomes more and more confusing.
So - imagine if all of those threaded conversations, real-time chat, nested comments, media sharing, and wiki-style collaborations were all available inside the inbox?? Pure awesomeness. Or Googleness.
It's currently in private developer beta mode, but will be released to the public in the next few months. Found on YesButNoButYes.
