I don’t believe that the collaboration tools of Enterprise 2.0 are about replacing e-mail as much as they are about allowing e-mail to simply be a messaging platform and not a collaboration platform. Right now in most organizations, e-mail is the primary means for sharing and collaborating on files and doing group-think for geographically dispersed groups. However, e-mail was never designed for those functions and is not very good at them.
The Enterprise version of the BlogMatrix Platform tries to integrate the strengths of blogging and email, allowing blogging (and commenting) to be done via e-mail, and blogs read via automatic e-mail sending.
