Email Nightmare. Shortmail Fix. Funding Obtained.
Last week I quit email. It's perhaps the smartest thing I've ever done.Instead of spending a couple hours every morning, a few hours before bed, and many cumulative hours inbetween on organizing, responding (and not responding) to endless messages, I'm doing things like reading, writing, and living life. I highly recommend that everyone try it. Of course, I realize that most people can't. In fact, the reality is that I really can't. My email quitting is merely an experiment for a few weeks that will provide plenty of good writing fodder. For stories like this, in fact.Shortly after I declared I was quitting email, numerous people pinged me about a service called Shortmail. While I had heard about it previously, thanks to this Fast Company article, I hadn't tried it yet. So I signed up. And I immediately saw the appeal.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/ktVy1K-XVv8/
