: OK, it's nice to have a chat on the phone with family members sometimes, but for business and most social communications, I prefer email too. As the writer says in the article above, you can reply when you want to; you're not obligated to stop what you're doing and answer now, like the phone.

: I love this post - because it's not just about new web gadgets - it's about new web gadgets that people are actually finding useful some time after discovery and as they incorporate them into every day business life.
: Nice endorsement of some apps. I'd love to see the same article at 6 and 12 months. To last that long, an app really has to show 1) value and 2) an ability to adapt.
