Good morning! Time for an ultra quick SMS Text News survey. I’m wondering how many of us will be checking (work related) emails over Christmas? I’m betting quite a lot. 70%?
Let’s see.
I’ve made a surveymonkey — there’s only one question. Click Here to take survey.
The question is thus:
Over this Christmas, will you be checking your emails?
– Yes, via my Blackberry
– Yes, via my mobile phone
– Yes, via my computer
– No way, I’ll be relaxing!
I’ll publish the results in a few days. Meanwhile, anyone care to guess the percentages?
I think the results will be something like this:
– Yes, via my Blackberry: 45%
– Yes, via my mobile phone: 20%
– Yes, via my computer: 25%
– No way, I’ll be relaxing! 10%
If you guess correctly, you win a Mars Bar!
Do you mean just work emails, or work and personal, or just personal, or any?
I intended it to mean sitting down to check work emails, Curious.
Interesting thought. I’m fortunate enough to be in one of those strange companies that doesn’t have external access to email (and I’m not going to do anything to resolve that between now and Christmas!). So, only personal emails for me. Guess that means my answer is “No way, I’ll be relaxing”.
My guesses:
– Yes, via my Blackberry: 30%
– Yes, via my mobile phone: 20%
– Yes, via my computer: 40%
– No way, I’ll be relaxing! 10%
Nice guesses Keith! Let’s see who wins! I’ll post a Mars Bar to whoever guesses the closest results.
Define ‘over Christmas’ too.
Christmas Day I have no intention of checking anything. But Christmas Eve? Probably.
My guesses:
– Yes, via my Blackberry: 20%
– Yes, via my mobile phone: 15%
– Yes, via my computer: 45%
– No way, I’ll be relaxing! 20%
My mobile is connected to an Exchange server, however the work is a side job. My main job will not see anything lest they get me over AIM Mobile (SMS).
I’m sure a depressing number of people will be checking emails – the real question is will they be doing it surreptiously or with the blessing of your wife / husband / partner / family etc? I’ve been known to hide in my children’s plastic garden house with my blackberry and a can of stella to catch up on emails.
Is that odd?
