Haha nice, good job he re-invented Gmail filters!
Sarcasm aside, I use filters for like, everything, so that the only email that lands in my inbox is email that's important - and if not, I always proactively filter it out or put it in a "reading" or other label.
However, I'm not as famous as Mr. Ariely!
Still cool research though.
- cuddlybacon 10y agoI do that too. The problem is I have 140ish email rules. Changing them is scary because it is really like changing a pile of goto-riddled spaghetti code. There are also things he listed that I don't know how to do in any email client. For example creating a rule that will allow emails to only notify at EOD. I'd love to have that.
- thebiglebrewski 10y agoInteresting. Definitely some novel use cases to be explored here! I agree the rules get a bit glass-housey.
