Anyways, I found this article over on Winterspeak. Pretty cool idea on changing how you use E-mail.
- Storing bits in an email client splits your file system, making it harder to find anything. By storing everything on the hard disc, a search (using "finder" on Macs, and whatever on PCs) can look through all your data at once.
- A cluttered inbox makes email useless. It's impossible to find, act on, or reference workflow if it's buried under 200 other emails.
- Too much email is a pointer to over-extension in other parts of life. Unsubscribe to newsletters you never read, get off useless lists, and involve yourself with fewer projects.
Good email habits and non-intrusive technology that lets people manipulate their digital information directly makes it pretty easy to handle about 500 emails a day, more than enough for most.
Why this works
I dunno if I can do this. I'll admit it; I'm a packrat with E-mail, I have various archives that date back to the late 80's. Yes, true, 99.9% of it is crap, but there is stuff that I'd like to keep. Correspondence with friends, etc. Of course, thinking that, I also have to admit that much of it is inaccessible, as I've changed E-mail clients 5-6 times in the past 12-13 years. So maybe he's right...:)

Y'know, it's SO nice when someone sums up the whole "Music Sharing" concept so succinctly. The point is dead on.
The fact that the music industry, which has been panned so many times in the past years for their duplicity and willingness to gouge money from the artists, is now holding the artists in front of them as shields. Well, we know what happens to human shields, right?
So tell me, Bobby and little Janey, when was the last time you heard of a Music Exec. dying in the gutter in poverty?

Well, I thought I had Radio working remotely, but every time I tried to submit an article/form, I got "Access Denied" errors.
Hmm.
