Eww, Google products

I was joking, but I'm curious what product you think could replace email? It's popular because it's instant (as opposed to phone, fax, email), and most importantly because it's decentralised. There is no one company in control, anyone can run a server on any software so long as it speaks the open standards.

I'm sure there is something that could replace it, but what's your suggestion?

The email protocol actually isn't instant, delivery delays up to 24 hours are with specification
