A list of reasons that a social networking system like the Landing can be more effective than email for managing knowledge and communication in an organization.

It's a brief opinion piece so it's little simplistic in some places, and it clearly has a very particular toolset in mind (that includes task and project management, apparently), but it covers the basics of why tools like the Landing are a good idea pretty well. As with all technologies, it's not what you do but the way that you do it that makes the biggest difference, but systems like the Landing have some propensities and strengths that are harder to duplicate with other tools.
