"This whole "I have over 1000 unread emails, oh my!" crap just feels like bad email management and poor time keeping." I'd wager he gets hundreds of emails per day from random people, some of whom could actually be important. This is in addition to internal email lists at his company, VIPs, etc. I get dozens and I'm quite a bit less public/important than Kevin Rose. Say he gets the following daily: 30 messages from people he knows 150 emails from fans, strangers, some of whom might be worth responding to 50 internal company emails that merit SOME attention That's 220 emails per day to process. Say 150ish on the weekends, so he has 300+ to process every morning. Now say he takes a 1 week vacation. Call it an average of 1 minute per email for processing (some are near 0, some need to be scanned, some need to be carefully read, some require short replies, some require longer replies). That's 4+ hours per day. What he needs is an assistant to go thru the "I don't know you" pile to see if there is any "ham".
