Yahoo on e-mail overload
Just below the piece on a cat competition, Yahoo's homepage links to a piece on e-mail overload, yet another article reporting on the handful of companies trying "email-free Fridays":
Like the others in the series, the article seems to be saying, "Where oh where can we find a solution to the problem of e-mail overload? For now, let's just turn it off one day a week."
That may address the symptoms, one day a week, but it doesn't cure the disease. Those companies should teach Bit Literacy instead.
Also, I love that Yahoo ranks a cat competition above e-mail overload!
(Thanks, Pete)

The stuff displayed there isn't really in order of significance. The email story had the main slot shortly before the cat piece. It rotates.
That said... come on! It's a cat on a computer! :)
I think we should put the two thing together: Let your cat read and sort through your email on Friday.
Call it Kitty Litteracy.
