Email is too damn slow

Rant alert. Here it comes!

So, I've heard that email is "Too Slow" for the newest generation of users. I thought perhaps that was a bit extreme, until today. I'm blogging my gripe about this as I wait and Wait and WAIT for my coworker to read an email asking a quick, simple question. Why? Because he isn't on a chat client and doesn't want me to use SMS??? In fact, while I'm griping about how annoying it is to wait around for his response, let me take it two steps further and and #1: why are we using MS Office to collaborate on a document instead of something that can truly collaborate in real time? #2: why isn't he on some sort of video client so we can actually TALK FACE TO FACE !!! You know who you are, buddy. Get with the times!

Media Geek Experiment

Well, as promised, here is an update on my latest experiment at work. We have successfully dubbed ourselves the "Media Geeks". My boss was okay with it, though his approval came with the expected warnings. We now answer the phone as "Media Geeks". I'm pleased to report that typically this is met with a giggle or two.
We have created the first two YouTube videos. You can check them out on our channel VWCCMediaGeeks. The "One Minute Wonder" is pretty tame on humor, but I'm guessing it'll develop. The biographies are much funnier, though mine is the only one up so far, and it looks like it'll be pretty lame compared to the ones coming from the rest of the group.
So far, so good... Check back often for more updates, rants, etc.
