The problem with email today
         Kukoo.com launch - 27 April 2009
Email is awesome.
Email is too awesome.
183 billion
 emails sent per day
2 million
emails sent per second
4 million
emails per day for Bill Gates only
Eat that!
So how did
we get there?
Today we’re using email to
send messages to clients
as well as colleagues.
Some of them wanted
mostly unsolicited.
To remind ourselves to buy milk.
To make sure we don’t forget about what to do
or just because we’re bored.
Problem is
we spend our days emailing.
Which is not good.
Experts are suggesting solutions.
Hundreds of them.
Shut off auto-check.
Write less
and prioritize.
Stop using email altogether.
Problem is
the person who sends the email.
He must be stopped.
“In the United States, more than $650 billion
a year in productivity is lost because of
unnecessary interruptions, predominately
mundane matters. A big chunk of that cost
comes from the time it takes people to recover
from an interruption and get back to work.”
Enter   .
Placing the email receiver in control.
Inspired by
singletasking.
Schedule a # of email moments a day
and tell others about it.
Visit   .com and find out.
Kukoo is a   .be project.
