I think that a lot of "startups" are using the fantasy of an email-less world as a marketing tactic. I agree, I don't think email is going to disappear. Whether that is a good thing or bad, it's irrelevant

I'm still hoping to see a resurgence in software designed around federated protocols and architectures.

Basically the opposite of things like Google Hangouts, iMessage, Skype, Dropbox, iCloud/Google Docs, and many others.

Totally agree. Which is why I'm excited about the Gmail API and Inboxapp
Is that centralized or federated?
