5 sentances

This is an interesting idea that my brother in law told me about during family reunion. I'm not too sure what I think about it. I tend to sometimes do this and yet at other times write novels in e-mails. I do also tend to write posts here that are more meant to be seen by anyone of my friends and family (and random internet visitors) reserving other types of communication to be either e-mail or social blogging.

The Problem

E-mail takes too long to respond to, resulting in continuous inbox overflow for those who receive a lot of it.

The Solution

Treat all email responses like SMS text messages, using a set number of letters per response. Since it’s too hard to count letters, we count sentences instead.
five.sentenc.es is a personal policy that all email responses regardless of recipient or subject will be five sentences or less. It’s that simple.

Just thought I'd post this as it's a curious proposition. Honestly though, I think my main problem getting through e-mail is wadding through e-mails from companies I am interested in hearing from when I'm looking to use them, but at the moment trying to find the personal messages. As a result we've set up addresses we give to businesses and different ones to individuals. This has helped us a bit more than this commitment might. It also doesn't really change what I'd RECEIVE in my in-box, those people who all ways write long messages will continue to unless they themselves become compelled at some point to make such a commitment. Just thought this was all something interesting to think about.
