Who Is On The Other Side Of Your Email

lA few of my Facebook friends were talking to each other online about an app called Sidekick. Did you ever hear of it? Did you ever use it? 

Apparently, all you do is download the Sidekick app and then you get super power email capabilities.

You will receive live notifications if and when  someone opens or clicks on one of your emails.  How wild is that? You can also know “when, how many times, where, and from what device they opened your email.”

The other convenience is that you can also schedule when you want your emails to be sent and delivered in the future. “You can also send reminders to yourself, or make sure that your recipient gets the email, when you want them to get it.”

The Sidekick feature is very important to those who need to know if their messages are being read. I always assumed so, but now I know. 



always assumed so but now I wonder. Sidekick here I come. 


The Future Of Emails

Believe it or not, the use of email is dwindling. 

The younger generation sends an average of 181 texts a day, according to Mobile Marketer. They want instant gratification. Email takes too long. Texting is quicker.

Communication today comes in many different forms. We talk to each other on social channels, message apps, business software, and yes, email. 

No more three paragraph emails. Today everything has to be short and quick. I don’t know what people are so busy with but they sure don’t want to spend time writing out long compositions. 

That’s why people don’t leave voice mails anymore. Active folks said they don’t have the patience to listen to messages. They can see incoming calls on the “recent”‘ file on their cells. That’s good enough. They just don’t want to listen to the same content twice. 

Twitter started the 140-character tweet and everyone learned to communicate in small sound bites. We are definitely living in the world of “just the facts folks, just the facts.”
