[ExI] lists going quiet, was: RE: list test

[Giulio Prisco]

I wonder how much of the slowdown is due to the fact that email and
mailing lists are basically the same as 20 years ago, and not as fast,
ergonomic and structured as the "modern" communications means (FB, G+,
Twitter, IM, whatsapp and whatnot).

To me email has still the huge advantage of not being a walled garden
that belongs to a corporation. But perhaps there could be ways to
combine the openness of email with the advantages of more recent
developments.
