Inbox Victory
Have you ever been in the situation where you spend days trying answer all of your email only to accomplish your goal and have no one to share in your victory? All you want is a high five, a pat on the back, and a “job well done soldier!”, and yet most likely all you are left with is an empty room and a cold cup of coffee. Inbox Victory is an initiative that says, “you deserve that high five!” And here is how you get it:
1) Get your email inbox down to zero. People have various methods for dealing with their email so ‘inbox 0′ is going to mean different things to different people. A basic rule of thumb, however, is getting it to a point where no further action can be taken.
2) Open up your webcam software and take a screenshot of yourself profiling in front of your defeated foe (See examples below).
3) Leave your screenshot in the comments of this post.

liz added these pithy words on Jul 07 08 at 9:31 ami am the inbox rebel! i have 7,292 unopened emails in my inbox, while still only using 14% of my gmail space! but y’all make me look like i care or something…
samuel added these pithy words on Jul 07 08 at 2:30 pmYea, i can’t use my @aol/aim.com email address because the web based mail doesn’t let me delete all of them (i can’t even select like 50 at a time then delete), and no pop clients work with it :\. But my gmail email is always clean, not as fun as 59k emails though.
Andy added these pithy words on Jul 08 08 at 7:44 amNot bad… the again, it’s all still sitting in about 30 other folders waiting to be ignored…
Ironic1 added these pithy words on Jul 08 08 at 8:11 amMission accomplished! And not in the George Bush fingers crossed sense of “Mission Accomplished.” I really mean it and I’m not wearing a jumpsuit on some aircraft carrier.

ob1 added these pithy words on Jul 08 08 at 11:32 amWindows users are too busy tweaking Vista, reinstalling XP or fighting off hordes of virues to read email. Also more macs have built-in webcams.
evan added these pithy words on Jul 08 08 at 1:56 pmTop image is Linux / Ubuntu! I’m more surprised at the number of gmail users. Yall know google reads your email and puts advertisements in there, right?!?!

Tony added these pithy words on Jul 10 08 at 11:30 amIt’s nice to know that even though my files are a mess, my bookmarks even worse, and my life in general is totally unorganized, I’ve got my inbox dominated.
Tony added these pithy words on Jul 10 08 at 11:31 amWoops! Look at how fast I lose track of things!
