Here’s an interesting perspective on the ‘problem’ of email… There’s a constant flow of “email is/is not broken” articles across the internet, but most of them miss the point. Email as a system is not broken, but we, through our email behaviors, are. Nearly all of the articles written recently about fixing email have concentrated [...]
How to be an ‘Inbox Hero’ with Gmail
http://youtu.be/hq5yksbplhE
Last Wednesday we began a series of ‘lunch and learn’ presentations at The Docking Station in Green Bay, WI and I am pleased to share it [almost] in its entirety below. This is the first in a series of ongoing presentations on the topic of thought leadership marketing which will be published in a book [...]
This should be interesting…
I sent the following email to several school districts and a couple of 501(c)3′s in my area today… “A recent study by the Radicati Group on ‘Microsoft Exchange 2003 Total Cost of Ownership’ concludes that Microsoft Office is much more cost effective than Lotus Notes with an average acquisition cost of $450.39 per user with [...]
Ouch! Email and Productivity…
Looking to become more productive? “Yet another reason to shut down your email client (or close your Gmail tab) and process messages in batches: a study shows that it takes an average of 64 seconds to recover your train of thought after interruption by email. That’s more than a minute per email, and could easily [...]
Google Apps Goes Premier
Here’s another move schools and 501(c)3s should make to get off Microsoft Exchange and its expensive licensing… “Google has launched a new version of Google Apps (formerly Google Apps for Your Domain), and it adds Google Docs & Spreadsheets and a pay service. There are now two editions of Goofle Apps: the free Standard Edition [...]
Outlook vs. Gmail?
There’s a fundamental flaw in the premise of this article, namely, that you have to choose either Outlook or Gmail. Better said, it should be Exchange vs Google Apps because you can switch to Gmail and still use Outlook. That having been said, this is a good analysis that is worthy or your time [otherwise, [...]
Blogging is actually very EFFICIENT!
In many ways, blogging is no more difficult than sending an email and much more effective in the long run… “If you’re a great baker or known for your mad IT skills, chances are you get asked the same things over and over again. You probably also end up fielding distress calls from frantic friends [...]
The Ultimate Info Smorgasbord!
Image via CrunchBase Are you still getting email newsletters? I’m doing everything I can to eliminate them and keep my inbox for ‘just in time’ information only. Wait! Where do I get the information which was contained in those newsletters? Through newsfeeds. Here’s a post that might help you get started… “Do you have a [...]
On Gmail’s Success…
Nice praise for one of my favorite tools… “Financial Times reports that Gmail has about 100 million users and the growth rate is still significant: “[Gmail] has been gaining ground in the US over the past year, with users growing by more than 40 per cent, compared to 2 per cent for Yahoo and a [...]

The Working Inbox
“Today, I was firing off a couple of emails when I noticed that the message count in the top corner said, “483 Messages”! I decided enough was enough and began doing some more research into managing my inbox. I checked up on lifehacker.com, 43folders.com, and a few others to see what was going on. One [...]
