That's as long as I could watch it without losing my attention; about as long as I can follow an email string on one topic. It seems they have written the specs for enhancements to email rather than a new concept. Enhancements that should make it easier to track strings of serial emails on specific topics that flow through a corporate email system every day. But, to use this as an add-on to my current sorting and reading of internal corporate email content would result in, as you say David, "frittering away with communicating with each other". If they have something to make communicating easier, they aren't communicating it in their demo.
