Comment on Ask HN: What could disrupt email?

Comments

What's wrong with email? It works fine for decades. SMTP, (POP3) and IMAP are fine protocols.

Please disrupt chat instead, with a proper protocol. A new non-XML based XMPP version maybe? Anyway the big players need to support it. Now we have all these proproitary chat apps (FB/WhatsApp, WeChat, SnapChat, Skype, Hangout, etc.) that are incompatible closed eco-systems. Maybe we should just disrupt chat by using the email protocols and infrastructure ;)
