My good friend Panagiotis Astithas wrote to me recently:
“Nowadays my INBOX is not what it used to be. I have incoming messages / news from GMail, EBS mail, NETMODE mail, NOC mail, Twitter, Friendfeed, Facebook, Google Reader (and I am surely forgetting some) and I have made sure to minimize both duplication and polling effort (using .forward, gmail notifier and firestatus :-) ).”
With so many sources comprising our INBOX (and not just email) we should replace the term email bankruptcy with inbox bankruptcy.
