Email overload has become a hot topic lately. An average person now gets over 100 emails per day, and an average corporate employee over 200. Companies are looking for ways to replace email or just turn it off.
Google counted 24,000 mentions of “email overload” last year. Just within the last week there were 2,000. At this runrate, we should see over 100,000 mentions in the coming year – that’s a 5x growth in “email overload” buzz. (By the same methodology, mentions of “solar power” should decrease 3x next year).
