Presentation held by Yves Luther on the BarCamp 3 in Berlin in 2008. The Social Hub is a vision for a social network living in your inbox. Until the launch of Google Buzz no software nor service came close to this idea. Though I think no one of Google attended my presentation, I am somehow proud a company like Google picked up my idea. If anybody is reading this: I have several further ideas like this.
