#2i'm going to be the one to say it - get over yourself MG.
twitter was the "end of email". facebook was the "end of email". IM was the "end of email". SMS was email "end of email". Google+ is now the "end of email". no no ... wait wait wait Apple iMessage is now the "end of email".
yet so email lives on and is still the best communication medium we have on the planet that works and is as universally understood as SMS.
good luck writing interesting stories over the next month. or alternatively - be prepared for G+ spam, twitter+ spam and all the rest. you're just offsetting one advanced SPAM medium for ones which aren't as advanced in SPAM filtering [outrageous generalization :) but true]

#3Email is the open social network that has managed to work for decades.
Will I ever be able to install and host these alternative social network apps on my server. Can I modify and re-distribute them? There are a few but they are too different (from email) and are big monolithic silos.

From what I understand from the article, it seems that he has another problem (information overload from too many people trying to contact him), not so much a problem with e-mail as a medium.

#5I like email. It is not controlled by Some Other Entity, I control my contacts, I only push when I need to, I can back it up, there is no flash munching my battery.
It allows deliberative thought and handles arbitrary file transfer (well, if your service provider isn't a stinker).
I don't get the email hate in the least.

@wladimir - yeah I get that but it gets a bit tiring when every medium is the "next email" and now he's "quiting email" and then he'll "return to email" ... blah blah
