Perhaps because the mess reflects the mess in organizing my life :-) I tend to do things related to interaction with others (ranging from paid jobs to supporting open source projects to paying taxes) in email-driven mails, by properly tagging. This happens 80%+ of my emails, that get properly collected in folders, but not for the remaining ones. On one side I'm just involved in too many things, so I always lack large portions of time, on the other I have to improve my efficiency. I've been suggested to read the book "Getting things done", but so far I haven't found the time to do it :-) > Gmail's great strength. I don't want to be rude but I > think you should try something before writing it off, > probably true for facebook as well. No rudeness, instead I'm always thankful for advice. But Thunderbird basic concepts are ok for me (tags and searches). And as I said, even though GMail was so better, I don't want to put all my stuff in the hands of Google (I'm always puzzled when I see people complaining for yet another camera at the airport check in, and then put all their digital life in other's hands). For FaceBook, I've already expressed my thoughts two years ago: http://weblogs.java.net/blog/2008/02/15/officially-i-hate-social-networking-non-java-rants It just sounds as FaceBook incarnates the opposite of my life style. -- Fabrizio Giudici -- Fabrizio Giudici, Ph.D. - Java Architect, Project Manager Tidalwave s.a.s. - "We make Java work.
