Email Is History

email-tricks One of the most frustrating and unnecessarily annoying speed bumps of the Internet is the login "username." Typically a minimum of six characters but sometimes requiring as many as eight, the username is an antiquated concept that doesn't help publishers, users, or anyone else. What's the solution? Publishers should ditch the oft-forgotten "username" and replace it with something that everyone can remember: one of the user's email addresses. There are four reasons why the email...

gmail-tabs Rates have been measured, studies produced, cries of doom heard, and questions raised since the rollout of Gmail inbox tabs in mid-July. But what has the consumer reaction been?

Say 'I Do' to a Holiday Email Planning Process

holiday-email Over Labor Day weekend, my brother-in-law got married. Despite the fact that he had what is considered a "small" Serbian Orthodox wedding (a mere 350 guests), I think I put more effort into his wedding than I did my own, when I had nearly 1,000 attendees. Why? First, my husband, all three of our kids, and I were in the wedding; that's a management feat in and of itself. Also, we hosted the Skup (wedding pre-party) at our house the morning of the wedding, for about 150 people. It...

email-growth I wrote last year about "Email's Place in the Emerging Entrepreneurial Economy" and with the 2013 Inc. 5000 list just released, I thought it would be good to take a fresh look at the email-related companies making a splash in the private sector and public markets.

The companies on this year's list report have created over 520,000 jobs in the past three...
