This August 31st, put down email for a day: http://www.noemailday.com/
The idea is that while email is great (some of us made a career out of it), we've forgotten when or how to speak directly to each other. Who hasn't used email to avoid having to look someone in the eye or even to cover your backside?
Let's rediscover, just for one day, what happens when we talk to each other rather than letting our keyboards be our voice. But go ahed and pass this on using your keyboard ;)
Full disclosure: http://www.noemailday.com/ was created by my boss, Jay Graves. But it really is a good idea.
