Ok fair. But at least it usually stays in threads. Plus, given that it's build on a protocol and not a centralized product, it does fairly well, all things considered.
I guess that does raise a sort of interesting question though: What would it look like if someone rebuilt email as a closed app? Maybe the problem with email is less email, and more that it has to work in this open ecosystem that makes it really hard to manage.
How about investing in my app? Like Seinfeld is a show about nothing, my app is an app that nothing. You open it and it just sits there doing nothing. Nothing happens. How much can I put Benn. Ventures down for? I won't accept nothing for an answer.

I was so convinced it was going to be real! Alas the world lost a grouchy truthy hustler.
