Peggy,

I’ve enjoyed perusing your site and reading your various articles and advice. For this one problem, I’d like to invite you and your readers (and even President-Elect Obama) to try out our new service, OtherInbox.

When signing up, each user gets their own domain name (user.otherinbox.com) and they use that to sign up for their various newsletters and online services (facebook@user.otherinbox.com, mediapost@user.otherinbox.com, etc.)

Your inbox is automatically organized and folders are created for each address, allowing you to seperate these emails from your work or personal account.

We are in private beta, but you and your readers can sign up here:

I hope you enjoy trying us out, and I look forward to reading any ideas or comments you may have.

~The OtherInbox Team

Hello Peggy,
Thank you for the email. It was very informative and I loved the contrast writing about our President-Elect Obama’s Blackberry separation.
I must admit, I can’t leave home without it. However I haven’t gotten to the point of being rude and in a Client meeting by fumbling with it or answering a call. So I think I have my addition under control.
I’ll certainly keep it in check while remembering your tips.

Thanks for a great email.
Africa Riviera, Web Consultant

Sheryl, great post. Yep, he needs to find something else to do with his fingers. I can see him sitting down in all of his coolness playing a piano. I don’t want him getting addicted to video games though.

Yes, Barbara, those were the days. I love it that you’re sticking to this. And it’s so good hearing from you.

Peggy,
Thanks for a great post. I often tell my “Millennial” co-workers that we are not on the staff of Greys Anatomy and that what we do is not life saving, so don’t expect me to respond to your emails after hours. And the don’t.

Many people need to be reminded that you can disconnect and still be alive and enjoy life. I’m glad I was born in a time where I remember when we didn’t have all these ways to connect, so I don’t have a problem disconnecting, and usually enjoy it!

Nice blog and blogspot!
