Question of the Day

Suggested via email by Shaker Bill Boulden: "What communication methods do you let notifications pile up for and which ones do you rigorously check?"

Says Bill: "I got a really good discussion going on Twitter [about this subject last week]. It was very interesting hearing about people who let emails pile to to over 70K unread but check every instagram notification the second it arrives, or people who check twitter for @mentions continually after they tweet but never go back to reread facebook threads once they have commented on them. Learned a lot!"

I am pretty good about keeping up with online communications, because, if I don't stay on top of them, I get wildly behind, but I'm terrible about checking voicemail. As basically all of my friends have discovered, lol. (I'm sorry!)
