iPwn: stupid moves on smart phones

Renny on anti-social smart phone users.  The only thing missing is the "Sloan Professional Standards Behind the Nametag Rumba."  



Does anyone else come down with major guilt for not being able to respond to everything and instantaneously? 

Of all the collaborative technologies, I love Skype the most because it allows you to choose channel to accomodate player's realtime vs. asynchronious needs.  If I could design the next generation...  

1.  The whole spectrum (SMS, email, voice mail, twitter, all messengers, etc.)  
2.  Preference logging (if someone prefers to leave voicemails and someone prefers to receive emails, it should let you leave a voicemail and convert it into an email)  think: SpinVox
3.  Dynamic routing (if someone has their display in presentation mode, it should block inbound IMs... integrate with google latitude and let people know they're IMing someone within earshot)
4.  Feedback (are you a net exporter or importer of emails?  how quickly do people respond to your emails relative to others'?  Can emotion detection software give you a quantiative measure on how successful your pitch was?)  think multi-user, multi-channel Xobni.
5.  Soc Net Integration (map/modify depth of relationships based on frequency and involvement of communication.)
