ReachCards.com and Information Overload

I was reading a post on TechCrunch from last week (quite a few spirited posts and comment wars over the last 4 days, eh?!) about email overload and how communication has changed over time from the telephone days. Lots of interesting thoughts and comments on this, including my own (hopefully interesting) ones.

Until I get a chance to write it all out, I wanted to point out an interesting site that tries to deal with this problem. Check out their "About" page (linked from the site footer) for some videos about how it's supposed to work:

I don't think they've got the whole story told here, but they're on the right path, IMO. More to come...
