We were just starting to get MessageDance going when we saw this article about how email is dead.  Yes!  Perfect!  There is nothing better than being a technology contrarian!  I mean, did the world really need another search engine in 1998?  Not really, but search definitely had room for improvement.  We settled down a bit when we saw more blogging around how email isn’t dead after all and how there are several startups who are promising to change email forever.   Net-net: email IS here and will BE here for some time to come.  It is still a killer-app.  But man, it should do a lot more for you and your friends.  That is the essence of MessageDance.
