I enjoy your myspace thoughts…email with pictures, and a great step in improving communication (minus the web cam spam). But where’s my attachment button? Add that and you’ve got an even greater solution, allowing you to find friends, colleagues, and that girl you met at the bar last night (but strangely couldn’t remember her name). It also allows you to sort these contacts visually, but only visually. What’s nice about Outlook is the integration of a simple to use address book. And what about IM. A great tool for back and forth conversations, but not very well integrated into Myspace.

Is there anything else communication is missing online? How about video. Now that nearly every new laptop features a built in camera, I really would like to start seeing video conversations to start happening like marketers have been dreaming about since the late 80′s. Not all conversations, but just the ones that warrant arm flailing and facial expressions.

And voice? I love all this typing, but my sarcasm is never received well in an email, text, or IM. Maybe I need more ” ;) ” to clarify my dry and abrasive humor.

I guess what I’m getting at George, is that there are many forms of online communication, all of which are similar to email, but very specific to a form of communication, and all I’m asking for is one simple to use piece of online software that consolidates it all; Stores every conversation, allows me to find anyone in the world, integrates with all current forms of communication, and then lets me communicate how I want, quickly, easily, seamlessly.

If that can be done, we’d have one killer “email” platform!
