Yes, Another Email Rant

I bitch about email. A lot. Very loudly. And very publicly. As a result, I get a lot of people who reach out ¹ with some tips on how they best contain the beast. ²

One of the tips that seems to come up most often is managing it as you go, on your mobile device. I of course already do this with Mailbox, but that’s really more about triage and less about taking care of business in real time. What these people usually mean is actually responding to emails as they come in, rather than organizing them to respond to later.

Admittedly, I’m awful at this. But that’s sort of by design.

I do also prefer not reply any email on my phone. Drafting some replies is the farest I would do. So why there should be a email client on my phone?

The First App You Open In The Morning

parislemon:

You wake up. You grab your phone. What’s the first app you open?

This sounds like a silly question — or worse, an insulting one.¹ But I find it’s a rather enlightening question. Depending on when the question is asked, the answer can either be telling about the current state of apps or the current state of you.

Personally, right now, the first app I open in the morning is Twitter. But it hasn’t always been. A year ago, that app was Path. A year before that, that app was Instagram. Before that, it was probably Twitter again. Or Foursquare. Or Techmeme (technically, the web browser). At some point it was Facebook. And way back when it was probably — shudder — email.

I’m also wondering how the app I developed should be notified my user that something’s going on. In which way would be more appropriate, less annoyed!
