On the heels of my Email etiquette: Stop the madness post last week, a team at Yahoo Research started to look at and classify email habits. Huh.
It's a quick, but data-intensive read. For all you geeks out there, you'll love it. The brief - Characterizing Individual Communications Patterns - covers the findings from a research study done at a European university and a U.S. university over a two-year stretch. One finding is the difference between how humans send emails versus machines. So, maybe we can use this to spot unwanted and irritating spambots.
Enjoy!
Hey, I was quoting Susan Powter myself this morning.
