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.
Taking a little time out here to make a couple announcements:
1) We had a bit of an issue with our blog and some of you were not getting any of the blog posts in your RSS feeds for a while. We’ve fixed that and you should be able to see all of them now. We apologize for the rush of posts all at once, but hope you enjoy all the great “new” content you missed! Things should be smooth sailing from here on out.
2) We’re going to be participating in the Global Entrepreneurship Week, November 17th-23rd. We’re getting all the specifics put together, but I’m going to give you a sneak peek!

Keep checking back for more details and some outstanding articles and posts all centered around getting back to the basics of your business. (If you’re interested in attending Tim Berry’s webinar on the 17th, make sure to register soon! It’s first come first serve and space is limited! Click the picture for more information.)
3) Palo Alto Software’s product Email Center Pro has released version 2.0! Internally, several Palo Alto Software employee’s are participating in a “solidarity experiement” where we’ve all committed to … well, I’ll let Jason tell you all about it. Head over to our Dead-Simple Software blog to read all about the things we’ve decided to give up or do in the coming weeks.
That’s it! That wasn’t so bad now, was it?
