One of my my favorite new blogs is the99percent.com. Lots of great articles and practical tips. This article is a stark reminder of how managing all our communication channels is a full time job. THe article outlines 4 basic rules to help you choose how to engage. Sounds obvious but always a great reminder.   There is great quote at the end of the article from Seth Godin:
