I've heard that Seth Godin also responds to all his emails as well. I've had some amazing interaction with great thought leaders through their blog sites and eventually their emails. I believe that in today's Web 2.0 world, the smart organizations create community departments and managers to respond via a variety of communication tools when their customers have quesitons, comments or concerns. I believe this is a radical shift in thinking for many companies and organizations alike. Web 2.0 has brought the rise of the micro-interaction. I also enjoy the 'old-fashined way with a twist' today. @Joan

His email was at the back of the book and he encouraged readers to send him notes. I did never expecting a reply. I learned that he always answers emails -- maybe not the obscene ones but generally all. From him I learned that when it comes to some things (emails at least) it's still polite to respond. With blogs or other 2.0 'stuff', it sometimes feels like one is talking to oneself! It would be nice to know, even by a retweet or repost or email that it meant something to someone. It surprises me how many people don't say a word - ever -- not responding. I know time is tight for us all .. it just seems that now and then doing things the 'old fashioned way' with a twist would be nice.
