What do you use to read your email?

You can and should participate in the 3rd International No Email Day. Start by not doing email on Sunday March 3rd -- 3/3/13.

Watch Luis Suarez (5 years noemail at IBM), Paul Lancaster (NoEmailDay at Sage UK) and me (2 years w/o email) talk about NoEmailDay here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=dRX2zGdpWEg

I have heard of this email in the distant past. Wasn't it something that was inflicted on people living in the last 20th Century? (Pine Is Not Elm sounds familiar vaguely) Personal communications should be mobile, terse, interactive and collaborative (at least) email is none of those. #noemail offers you an opportunity to communicate in new and better ways -- all email clients are at bottom email clients -- and that's not a good thing.
