Dave Barry of The New York Times recently did a review of the book Send: The Essential Guide to Email for Office and Home that I previously posted on here. Maybe it has something to do with one of the authors working at the NYT as well, but Dave is pretty positive on the book although the review is more about how email is broken than the actual book itself.
That said, he sums up the essential message in two rules:
1. Think before you send
2. Send email you would like to receive
Eureka! I think they are on to something…
Easier said than done for sure and, as previous posts on SenderConfirm highlight, the answer to this problem resides with the person sending first and foremost.
Another thing that I thought was hysterical and is why my blog is titled as it is –
"Please do not take this personally, “Reply All” people, but: everybody hates you."
I originally picked this up from Scott Niesen at Attensa – a company down in Portland focused on bringing RSS to the enterprise – something that I think is really cool and very needed. I’ve downloaded their trial software and plan on setting it up this week. I’ll let you know how it goes. More on enterprise RSS later…

Robert, we’re eager to hear your feedback on Attensa’s Outlook RSS reader that you downloaded last month. Have you had the chance to take it for a spin? You’ll notice that the more you use it, the more it will do for you — the AttentionStream engine keeps track of your reading habits, and learns where you focus your attention. Then it prioritizes content at both the feed and article level based on your reading habits, to help bring the more relevant info to the top of the pile. There’s also little extras like synchronizing with your del.icio.us account, so you can seamlessly tag everything for future reference.
Cheers,
Paul
