Email sucked into the activity stream http://bit.ly/eEjPUB

Email sucked into the activity stream- http://bit.ly/eEjPUB @johnt @roundtrip << Boundaries blurring. That's a good thing, right?

@gagan_s @johnt email may be "sucked into" the activity stream at the presentation level for folk who prefer unified notification

♺ @johnt Email sucked into the activity stream http://bit.ly/eEjPUB // Yay!! About time!! :) #vulcan

@gagan_s @johnt This does not imply it's necessary (or desirable) to copy all email - or clutter the stream visible to others

@gagan_s @johnt Personally I see email, RSS (and Twitter) as streams for triage; I flag very few for review, and curate a smaller number

@gagan_s @johnt If others benefit from seeing my curated stream to improve signal to noise and improve #owork awareness, so much the better.

@gagan_s @johnt I curate what I collect into different TeamPage spaces with visibility depending on context (e.g. Board, Engin, Forum) #e20

@roundtrip Like unified stream but difficult to treat email on par w/RSS or Twitter since (some) emails require active action. / @johnt

@gagan_s @johnt Yes, perhaps the reply or followup might implicitly link that inbound email and internal or external action / reply

Sucking email into activity stream? on @keepstream w/ @johnt, @roundtrip, @gagan_s & 1 others http://keep.la/ejShwK #E20

@roundtrip @gagan_s @elsua just select email otherwise email loses its uniqueness.do we need an email rule or is it about email u send/reply

@johnt @gagan_s @elsua Not sure what you mean by "just select email" Sometimes 140c is just not enough!

@roundtrip @gagan_s @elsua i mean when i send an email i can choose for that to appear in my enterprise activity stream (even after the fact

@roundtrip @gagan_s @elsua most enterprise systems allow more than 140 so that's only an issue on twitter (consumer web)

@johnt @gagan_s @elsua Agree. Also useful to cherry pick incoming email that's significant, interesting and OK to distribute: < 0.5% 4 me

@johnt @gagan_s At @elsua 's incoming email rate, posting 0.5% would be about two per year! [ joy of IPad spelling corrector ]

@roundtrip @johnt @gagan_s What I like the most is how it tries to blend both of them allowing us to choose the right tool for a task

@roundtrip @johnt @gagan_s @elsua [That was 140 char for your explanation, not email limited to 140c] Email and attachment size not limited

@roundtrip @roundtrip @johnt @gagan_s Perhaps they should, Greg, to keep msg. on target :)

@elsua @johnt @gagan_s True, but when a prospective customer emails a 2MB RFI to you, it's unavoidably relevant and big.

@elsua @johnt @gagan_s I practice, I log incoming email like that to relevant space & create space for follow on work w that customer.

@roundtrip @johnt @gagan_s But there are more effective ways of collaboratively working on that RIF file > http://bit.ly/fFqSq4 :)

@elsua @johnt @gagan_s I agree! The only point is that at first contact, the RIF and other docs / notes / questions often enter via email.

@roundtrip @johnt @gagan_s Indeed! & that's needed! But then there is no reason why we should divert the convo into better options

@elsua @johnt @gagan_s We've found automatic email notification w email reply automatically attached to right obj as comment helps adoption

@roundtrip @johnt @gagan_s Yeah, which helps convert email into BACN, which is exactly what I'm aiming at; email = aggregator

@elsua @johnt @gagan_s Just interested in thoughts on email at the edge and what "suck email into the stream" might mean ...

@roundtrip @johnt @gagan_s More than suck email into the stream I would prefer "blend into the stream"; just one more option :)

@elsua @johnt @gagan_s Agree. On a personal basis, blend at UI notification level, and make it simple to choose what to curate and share.

@roundtrip @johnt @gagan_s And also how to share it, find the best medium to make it work for everyone according to their context & needs

@vanderwal @roundtrip @johnt @gagan_s Exactly, which means email is no longer the kind of comms / collab, but just one component of dashbd

@vanderwal @roundtrip @johnt @gagan_s After seeing latest demos at #ls11, looks like Project Vulcan is coming pretty close / .cc @edbrill

@vanderwal @roundtrip @johnt @gagan_s @edbrill Well, Thomas, couldn't help it; Ed just shared http://bit.ly/gVwo15 across ;-) hehe #ls11
