Hard to pass up that headline... AOL Mail's fourth annual Email Addiction survey has some interesting results including the strange places people check email, including:
• In bed in their pajamas: 67%
• From the bathroom: 59% (up from 53% last year)
• While driving: 50% (up from 37% last year)
• In a bar or club: 39%
• In a business meeting: 38%
• During happy hour: 34%
• While on a date: 25%
• From church: 15% (up from 12% last year)
Suffice it to say that we are addicted to email. As a non-recovering addict I too fall victim to these irresistible urges... all the more reason to consider email communications based on time. For example, sending users real-time and/or event based communications based on their activity and interactions with you.
