Then it got me thinking, I am just going to unsubscribe from everything.  Bye-bye Amazon, Ebay, MSDN, etc…I will visit your site when “I” feel like it.

There are 100′s of emails I get a week.  Tech, games, shopping a ton.  I moved my email over to gmail from hotmail (which I had since 98) and starting my email life over.  I feel such freedom from my inbox and it is so easy to keep it clean and organized.
