R.I.P. Shawneelink Email Address!
2008/04/02 21:12 Filed in: Journal
Occasionally I learn that someone has been trying to
contact me through my old Shawneelink email address.
Unfortunately sending friendly messages, your
cousin's baby pictures, forwarded spam, love letters,
and YouTube links to that address is about as
effective as printing them out, stuffing them in an
old paper envelope, and burning it. To put it simply,
that address is no more.
If you have this address in your address book, or penciled in a coffee-stained notebook opposite your online banking passwords (I'm not telling how I know), please DELETE IT, cross it out, or whatever you must do.
That address has been defunct for about eight months now, so if you've sent anything important (money, fan mail, etc.) to that address during that time, I haven't received it.
Here is the address you should use:
Besides being easier to remember, it has this major benefit: It works. You can, of course, also contact me through this website. Or at my workplace. Or by phone. Or chat. Or Facebook or MySpace. Or just Google for my name—it's everywhere!
If you want a free and easy way to keep your contact information current, try Plaxo. It synchronizes your contact information with the latest updates from other members. Works on Macs and Windows PCs. I've been using it for some time now, and quite a few of my friends use it too. It seems to work reliably, and has been a great help. The only gripe I've had is that it has merged contacts who shared an email address, such as married couples. But if you make sure Plaxo is set to require confirmation before making changes, rather than working in fully automatic mode, that kind of error won't happen. (It doesn't hurt to backup your data first, either. I believe Plaxo does this automatically the first time you run it, at least in Outlook.)
