Last month I wrote a couple of posts about technology and comms - specifically on email's incapability to deal with the needs of the kind of work people in the media do.
So I found it really interesting to read the FT's Chris Nuttall blog post on how he's using a few 'hacks' to make email work better for him. In this post he talks about embedding Twitter in his email system, amongst other things. He focuses mainly on the kick-ass-ness of Gmail. A really worthwhile read. Here's a snippet.
"With Gmail, I have personal and work emails all in one place, with lightning response times in comparison, unlimited free storage and I can instantly find, to give one example, all the research reports, PR company pitches, newsletters and experts on 3-D technology sent to me by email. I have also been able to reduce my Inbox, from more than 10,000 emails and growing, to less than a 100 at the start of the day and zero by the end of it."
We definitely need to keep improving the way we deal with e-mail - it's usually inefficient.
Added you to Twitter, btw.
