It's a wired world out there, and if this next story is any proof, it's hard to tell the difference between a geek and a player.

Do You Know Your Work Email and Productivity Facts?
Love it or hate it, email has become the chief form of communication in the workplace. We apply for jobs via email, we send our reports via email, we communicate with clients, our bosses, our co-workers and even our nonwork pals throughout our busy workday via our special @ address. Have you ever stopped to think about how quickly you react to new messages, or how much time you're actually spending reading emails?
Do You Use an Email Signature? What Does It Say?
This morning I was making plans with friends via email, and after reading through our short exchange, I realized I was the only one not to include an email signature. At work, I use a signature that includes my name, title, and email address. I don't include one in my personal email at all (which according to this post on decoding email signatures, makes me cool).
Do You Delete Old Email Addresses?
I have finally gotten used to the weekly, "Did you get my email?" phone calls from my mother. Predictably, every Sunday around late afternoon, she calls to tell me about something cute my nieces have done, or fill me in on the latest gossip about someone I went to high school with.
Do You Still Receive Chain Email Forwards?
There was a time in my life where I really wanted to help that terminally ill child whose family was reaching out to me vial email forward, or grew seriously concerned about the risks of my deodorant giving me cancer. I call that time 1999, when chain email forwards were coming at me in all directions, namely from my friends, who also sent me email questionnaires about different aspects of their life, which were interesting the first 50 times I received them.
Now, my friends have realized how annoying and scam-worthy these forwards all were (though the questionnaire people moved on to MySpace bulletins).
Ruh Roh! Employee Sends Steamy Emails to Co-Workers
A tech consultant at Cornell did what we've all had nightmares about doing: he accidentally sent personal emails to everyone he works with. And they were quite the Freudian sends.
Gulp.
Can Email Ever Be Replaced?
I'll admit, I'm guilty of notifying friends and family of what's happening in my life via Twitter and Facebook, instead of taking the time to send an email. And it seems a lot of friends are doing the same thing — a personalized email from a good friend is becoming more and more of a special treat.
Not surprisingly, the Wall Street Journal is boldly saying that email is on its way out.
Email Etiquette: Six Things to Keep in Mind Before Clicking "Send"
We've all been there. You write the email (either to a friend, family member, or co-worker), pause for a quick second, then hit send. Afterwards, you go back to your sent folder, and re-read emails that you may have worded wrong.
How Many Email Addresses Do You Have?
When someone asks for my email address, I have a quick debate: work email or personal email? Before, it was school email or personal email? Now with all my social networks, I feel like I have a million other inboxes to check too.
