The email, for the curious: ---------- Hi there, Someone anonymously wanted to let you know that you send WAY too many emails ️ And you know... that's not great... Being that guy (or gal) is rarely a good thing, so here are 3 things you can do: 1. Tag someone else you work with who sends too many emails to pass the blame and ease your conscience at minimize.email. 2. Consider Twist or Basecamp for deeper, calmer, and more meaningful work. 3. If you absolutely must write an email, write a process-centric one. Be well and don't forget to tag a colleague! You received this email because someone nominated you on Minimize Email. ----------

Interesting theory, in order to reduce the amount of e-mails you let the culprit know via e-mail, additionally suggesting him/her to use the service to nominate more people (thus sending each another e-mail). There is something perverse about it that I like.

  Don't forget the two other pieces of advice: using centralized services like Twist or Basecamp, which I suspect want you to use their own specific crappy user interface, or writing a "process-centric" email, whatever that may be.

  Is there a twilio script I can use to robodial people that leave me too much voice mail?

This is lame. Is this site is basically trying to harvest emails for SPAM?

"Instead of utilizing the standardized protocol of email, lock yourself into a proprietary project management tool." How is this supposed to be compelling? And would the recipient of such an email be in a position to decide "I am going to use [a new project management tool] in order to effect [marketing slogan]"? It seems unlikely that anyone with the authority to make that decision would find themselves on the receiving end of this. What's the end game behind this service? Is it simply email harvesting? An attempt at an underground/"viral" marketing campaign?

I can't imagine how hard I'd roll my eyes if I got one of these emails. This reads like a chain letter. "Copy this letter and send it to five other people in your company, or suffer the wrath of The Mummy's Curse."
