- IvanB, on 10/12/2007, -3/+16I don't use emails that much anymore.
- praisethelard, on 06/06/2008, -1/+14At least people are reading.
- scottmoss, on 10/12/2007, -5/+16That's 1 hour for those of us that can type and 3 hours for those of you that can't....
- bariswheel, on 10/12/2007, -3/+11Why did this get dugg? Why is this interesting at all?
Can we digg something actually intriguing?
reporting as lame, do the same for chrissakes... - tuxidomasx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5i must not fit in that 22%
1-3 hours on digg? maybe
1-3 hours on email? hardly. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7I check my email 10+ times per day, but that's because my client is always open. However, I only actually use email for about 15 minutes per day, max.
IRC is another story, though... - Ziron, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Yeah IRC is like a drug...
- twtmc, on 10/12/2007, -1/+522% of Americans spend 1 to 3 hours typing messages with 2 fingers. But, at least we are winning the war on computer illiteracy.
- aknowles5139, on 10/12/2007, -2/+51 to 3 hours?! i normally spend 10-15 mins at the most. But it all depends on what you do... If you have a home buisness then you'll be on more than the average person.
- Lieske, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Wow. I usually spend a maximum of 5 minutes every other day.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+275% of statistics are made up. the other 25% are statistics that no one gives a crap about....can you guess which one this one is?
- drilldown, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2People call me to ask if I got their E-mail. I set up the accounts, I don't actually use them.
When somebody calls, that tracks to the call list, I listen. - phlux, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2between my work email and people I support being literally all over the world, my treo and the fact that I have hundreds of machines that use email for problem alerts, I am literally "on email" 24 hours a day.
I ahve to look at my email each time it buzzes to determine if any action is required.
I am looking forward to getting away from this as this has been my lifestyle for the better part of the last 10 years. - samanathon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I wish I only spent 1-3 hours . . .
- lateralus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+21-3 hrs on email?
slow typers. - osc1882, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2... Email? 30 mins on a bad day.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3"Did you get my email?"
Anyone else hate this question? - Arramol, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2A few minutes on e-mail...and hours unnumbered on Digg.
- awa1ct, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Our fearless leader uses the internets to check his emails every few hours, right after using the google for looking up maps...
- DigitalBrian, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2So what? I spend 7 hours and sometimes more, who cares how long you spend on your email?
- thesparrowband, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3because it starts this cool comment debate
- graymatter, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Gmail Rocks
- volcompimp, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I'm about as techy as they come (but of course most of us are here on Digg) and I hardly use email at all. If you include messaging on myspace and other forms of interaction it still may hardly come close to an hour at best.
- UrlorJkron, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2This just in! 78% of Americans don't!
- lowerlogic, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2meh, for me it's more like 20 minutes a week, tops.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Before e-mail, people were spending that much time or more on snailmail. So we haven't really lost or gained anything.
- tofuComputer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I question this study simply from a point of logic. This study focused on AOL users. They are usually the ones that know the least about using the Internet because they are not actually using the Internet and/or email clients as much as they are using AOL's proprietary systems.
Further, it doesn't take into account all the web workers (the people who make the Internet "go"), who check their emails several times a day. I don't think Florida is the web worker capital of the U.S.
Take this story with a large lump of salt-just my opinion and not based on fact as much as on experience. - Indianperson17, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I hardly have time for e-mail anymore. Thanks a lot YouTube.
- Barryke, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Thats no valid argument;
Webmail services like gMail, Hotmail and Yahoo-mail all deliver real time delivery notification. - kingfoot, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2i usually spend 3 hours IN it, but using it, is actually probably less than an hour. most the time its just open so while i'm doing something else its ready to notify me if something comes. but i hate email. phone calls are better and face to face is better yet. have fun with friends is so much funner :D
- Barryke, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Per day, i spend 3 minutes checking mail, and tenfold when answering mail.
I guess the 'research' included the time spend on other issues, in between email checks. Spending 3 hours/day is ridiculous unless its in your jobdescription.
The story simply doesn't contain much facts;
and the less facts, the fancyer the article title. - Freshjive787, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2i spend 1 minute to clear out random newsletters
another 3 to read stuff thats actually important.
why are all these people wasting so much time reading email? - mozzep, on 10/12/2007, -4/+4"Number of times people check their e-mail / day:"
The beauty of pop 3 of IMAP. I check my email 0 times a day. It checks itself every 15 minutes. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2I spend like 2 or 3 hours in email (except weekdays, maybe like an hr then, cause I have school); in fact, I actually do as much emailing as I do phone-ing these days... It's great these day's you don't have to use snailmail to send pictures. Also, with internet stuff, it spend a lot of time conversing with others about business. So it's damn useful indeed.
