Also, the "Loading" wait for IntenseDebate is annoying.

Howard Lindzon had some input on Fred's blog. I tend to agree with his assessment that it's the leverage of the social graph that is most important here. No matter what your application is (i.e. e-mail relevancy), you need to leverage the social graph.

I'm mostly interested in the application of this concept in the enterprise sector (no news there). With spending in the "enterprise social software" sector expected to reach $3.3B by 2011, at least according to Radicati, there appears to be a real need to leverage the social graph.

Also, I agree with the "messaging not e-mail" statement. While e-mail is the current standard in the enterprise, there's no reason to believe instant messaging, blogs, and intra-service communication won't see just as much (or more) adoption.
