Overwhelmed by Email? One Firm Goes Email-Free on Fridays..

"Email-free Friday, which a group of engineers at Intel are kicking off in an attempt to stem the tide of electronic noise. The idea isn't just to get people away from Outlook for the day, but to get them interacting more in person or even over the phone, hopefully to encourage better idea generation and more effective problem solving than the coldness of email can offer."

Sounds like a great start!
