Alternatives to email

4 March 2008 in Email

Further to my suggestions for keeping your inbox in check, Jordan Furlong has a few suggestions to add:

  • Clients. Set up an extranet for each client; add an RSS feed. If you need to ask your client a question, call her.
  • Colleagues (down the hall). Something wrong with your legs? / use the phone.
  • Cooperation. To set up meetings, use Google Calendar or the like; instead of round-tripping documents, use Google Docs or similar; or set up an office intranet for a given file or matter.
