I am so tired of getting spammed by my own employer! Somehow I belong to all these irrelevant email lists, so half of my inbox is filled with a bunch of junk that means absolutely nothing to me. I am especially tired of geting these anouncements about some shmuck being promoted to some random management position in Argentina.
Maybe someone will catch on!
Indispensable to most businesses today, e-mail can be a millstone around the necks of office workers and the corporate IT professionals who serve them. Bloated in-boxes conceal rather than expose critical e-mail messages, and vast archives of spam and useless messages clog servers and network pipes.
Skilled professionals waste precious hours scanning in-boxes and browsing Web sites for vital information. Saying “enough is enough,” many IT pros are turning to RSS technology for relief from e-mail malaise.
“E-mail was never designed to be a news source,” said Charles Kevin Hill, IT entrepreneur at consumer products giant Procter & Gamble, in Cincinnati. Hill’s job is to see that the company’s knowledge workers get news they can use in their work, free of the e-mail clutter that could so easily plague them.
A co-worker of mine brought me some chocolate from Slovenia made with the “virgin” salt from the local salt beds…. damn. Not much more to say, but if you have never had chocolate with a noticeable kick of salt. Get some.
