Mozilla's Thunderbird open-source e-mail application has a new nest. David Ascher on Monday was CEO of MailCo, an organization with a placeholder name charged with Thunderbird's future development. Today, he is the CEO of Mozilla Messaging, the newest subsidiary of the Mozilla Foundation.
Mozilla Messaging begins with the proposition that e-mail is broken. The organization's goal is to fix it.
"E-mail and other forms of Internet communications present us with a paradox," Ascher said in a blog post on Tuesday. "The stunning proportion of our days spent communicating online clearly indicates that as a society, we are more intricately connected via the internet than ever before. ... Yet as the number of such interactions grows, and as the number of ways in which we interact grows, the joy that communication can bring is too often replaced by frustration, confusion, or stress. Furthermore, as we transmit more and more digital data, privacy and control questions become more and more troublesome." Source: Information Week Mozilla Messaging Website
