Let’s free ourselves from the email grip! Use social tools for more efficient knowledge sharing.
See link for NY Times article titled I Freed Myself From E-mail’s Grip:
Thanks for adding this Luis!
It’s funny to see this here, because I have been re-training myself, my colleagues, & my friends over the last several months on how I am using email less and moving out of the inbox.
I had to tweet about this post linking here and the idea:

I hope your readers here help with this effort to change the world, simplify life, increase productivity and use the hash tag: #emailLess on Twitter or simply use the Retweet feature on Twitter by copying and pasting this into their twitter status:
RT: @webtechman I am committed to Social Media. Using email less #emailLess http://tr.im/freeinbox Please Retweet =)
Hi Janetti! Many thanks for the plug and for sharing your thoughts on this particular topic. Yes, it is coming closer to a year since I gave on corporate e-mail and it surely has been a wild ride! This second year I am planning some big things happening throughout that most folks would be able to benefit from, so if you have a chance stay tuned to http://www.elsua.net, as I am planning to blog about it over there on a regular basis!
What about, you may be wondering? Well, how you, too, can get rid of e-mail in over 85% of your current incoming e-mails! That would be plenty of fun, eh? Like I said, stay tuned! ;-)
this is pretty interesting as a case study, but am not sure how portable the lessons are. i actually like email, and think the cc/bcc ‘political game’ is more than a game… it serves a valid purpose.
but still, the fact that this could be done does demonstrate that we use email more than we need to.
