Whatever the real costs, they seem to be enough to justify a blog entirely devoted to the subject of information overload which I have just started ;-) You can reach it at http://www.managingio.com

Comments are welcome! Cheers, Nicolas]]>Feb 18th 2008 2:52AMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/12/27/e-mail-text-messages-ims-cost-the-us-650-billion-in-2006/http://www.switched.com/2007/12/27/e-mail-text-messages-ims-cost-the-us-650-billion-in-2006/
A HIMS lets you negotiate next steps with colleagues in your own and other organizations, using a clear visual representation of everyone's responsibilities and commitments, then helps you execute your own part in these "Stories".

The reference implementation of a HIMS is the free desktop program HumanEdj.

Run the numbers next time O'Brien]]>Dec 29th 2007 1:28AMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/12/27/e-mail-text-messages-ims-cost-the-us-650-billion-in-2006/http://www.switched.com/2007/12/27/e-mail-text-messages-ims-cost-the-us-650-billion-in-2006/Even in a closely monitired setting such as health care...people are texting and the like ALL THE TIME. It is rampant. Those of us that are grown ups keep our phones in our lockers and use them on break as allowed by policy, or we can be terminated, on the spot. Whether it is health care or another business, it is stealing time, and wasting time. ]]>Dec 28th 2007 9:02AMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/12/27/e-mail-text-messages-ims-cost-the-us-650-billion-in-2006/http://www.switched.com/2007/12/27/e-mail-text-messages-ims-cost-the-us-650-billion-in-2006/I see people constantly calling and text messaging during work. I think it is a gross misuse and mistrust of company time. I have even seen people calling someone who is just a around the corner in the building. I guess laziness is really coming to a head when a person can't walk 30 feet to talk to someone.]]>Dec 28th 2007 9:40AMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/12/27/e-mail-text-messages-ims-cost-the-us-650-billion-in-2006/http://www.switched.com/2007/12/27/e-mail-text-messages-ims-cost-the-us-650-billion-in-2006/

Unless they are part of the problem. In this competive job market I sincerely doubt that anyone would risk termination because of misuse of a computer. And how many deal have been finalized because of a timely IM?
In closing I am a retired IT VP and I knew what and where my employees were doing everyminute of the time by analyzing IP addresses and scanning for illegal usage of email and all without ever reading one email. The technology is out there and it is up to the individual company to utilize it.
And about 650 Billion - PPLEEASSSSSSEE give me a break that number is BS!
