Currently, one of the hot and trending ideas is to contract with Facebook to provide corporate enclaves for such things. Look at git as an example. Ever since GitHub went up, a lot of businesses have outsourced that service to them. You think you're accessing the company's git server, but in reality you're talking to a particular walled-off portion of GitHub. The same is being talked about for Facebook, Google+, and many other social media platforms. The idea is to provide a corporate enclave for communication and forbid access to things like games, personal accounts, and whatnot. Businesses don't generally like email. Between spam and security issues, email has never really lived up to the utopian vision we had for it in the Seventies. It used to be that businesses ran their own email services, but now many outsource it to Google or Microsoft in order to enjoy lower operational costs. If they can get lower operational costs by moving to a Facebook-like platform, they'll do it in a heartbeat. _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
