It is useful. Have you ever traded currencies on Ripple? It's awesome.

Have you ever tried to send a bank wire before? It can take a week to process and it costs on average $15+. Not an awesome technology.

I hate PR churn, and love the Churnalism app, but a lot more will be needed to stop the flood of low quality content. It would be great to have a browser-based tool to identify, tag, and filter bad journalism--kind of like a SPAM-filter for your brain.

I've seen people who are great at short emails... but I've also seen a lot of miscommunication when people shoot fragments back and forth. It's a fine line between concise and useless.

I wish email came with a YES/NO embed button. Even a RECEIVED/READ button would be useful. Recipient can hit those buttons and move on... Sender knows the status and can move on.

I know you can embed Google Forms, but don't know if they work for all email clients. Anyone use them?
