Mind Your E-mail Send-to-Receive Ratio

by Tim Berry on October 30, 2008

Here’s an interesting view of the dashboard I now have on my timberry.com e-mail. This line chart compares my e-mails received to my e-mails sent. Hmmm . . .

It looks like I’m falling behind, doesn’t it? If yours got lost, I apologize. Then again, if you were spamming me or, for that matter, sending me a message about what you’re selling without my having asked for it, then maybe it’s not that sincere an apology.

I used to love e-mail. It still has its advantages. And e-mail visibility, like a dashboard with statistics and all, helps me manage.

By the way, that’s a picture of one of the dashboard widgets in Email Center Pro. And, full disclosure, it’s published by Palo Alto Software, of which I’m one of the main owners.
