I am not so sure if real-time collaboration will make workers less productive,
but i do agree that this mash-up of IM and email is potentially annoying,
and surely not inventing the wheel. in my opinion(and i think my boss's too),
being able to choose between IM, voice chat or email actually gives you choice and space. these are important..(example:) if my boss doesn't want to answer my question right now, he won't answer it and it doesn't matter that it is “Real-time”.If he wants RT he would use IM or voice chat from the start.

overall, maybe i'm wrong but i think people should be more skeptical and hype less.
the reality is most companiesstartups are trying to ride the social network
wave, and not really want to invent a new wave in technology(more wave puns anyone?)

If we spend all of our time talking and not actually working then these tools become useless. I'm definitely spreading this post so others can see that there is a valid reason for disliking RT and social media in some cases. Holy crap Adam you couldn't be more right.
