Lifehacker brought some interesting points to the table today with some info on two types of emailers that exist out there: The Day Laborer, which is more of the 9-5 guy emailing at work then done with it, and the other is the Emailaholic who is consistently emailing throughout the whole day.

“Small worlds expert Duncan Watts at Yahoo Research in New York City and a few pals studied the time of day at which around 3000 individuals at a European university sent emails over an 83-day period as well as the email habits of over 122,000 e-mailers at a US university over a 2-year period.

They found two distinct types of emailer. They termed the first “day labourers” because they tended to send emails throughout the normal working day between 0900 and 1800 but not at other times. The second group they called “emailaholics” because these people sent emails throughout the waking hours from 0900 to 0100.”

We would like this time to conduct the same survey here at PocketBerry.  Feel free to vote both here and over at Lifehacker as well.
