I keep my inbox empty (see Empty your inbox), and junk mail no longer wastes my time, thanks to the combination of Gmail's spam filtering and C-Command's $30 SpamSieve 2.7. Because I'm almost always too busy for microblogging and random chatting, I use Twitter only occasionally and instant messaging even less. Nevertheless, I've discovered that in certain situations, Twitter is a better way to communicate than e-mail.
