"he took it upon himself to create a new kind of communications system for Facebook that could relieve some of the pain, bringing project management and communication into a single application"
There are tons of these things floating around, e.g. Basecamp from 37Signals
The thing about email though is that it's (a) free, (b) distributed not centralized (unless you choose to use a centralized service like gmail), and (c) the mental model is totally accessible to all including my grandma.
Hahaha; if you read the comments in the article, they were vicious. The subject line was just shock value - granted Asana is a good application that many use.
I just don't think they should go up against Email. Historically Email have won many times (there are few exceptions like company impose Yammer)
