Email and My Full Circle

January 14, 2011 by 2 Comments

In the olden days, email was the way that information was conveyed online. I’m talking 1997ish.

Later (let’s say early to mid 2000s), spam became a problem and most email management tools, well, sucked. As a result, I started consuming information via other methods including RSS. I hated dealing with email.

Fast forward to 2010. Gmail (and especially Gmail with priority inbox) rocks. Spam is filtered. People are getting smarter about how to send email.

I like email again. I’m encouraging people to send email. I’m subscribing to things via email. With the right tools, I enjoy using email again.

    I absolutely love gmail. Priority inbox is well and good, but I’ve been using filters and labels to basically do the same thing better for the past few years. I’ve always been very impressed with the level of detail and the capabilities put into the service.

    I think we rushed in with proclaiming email dead. It`s still here and it still has great marketing potential.
