A Quote by Walt Mossberg

In 1998, it was possible to make a big-screen romantic comedy about email. Yep, email - the same medium we often think of now as boring and even annoying.

I do love email. Wherever possible I try to communicate asynchronously. I'm really good at email.

Elon Musk

We'd never make Slack an email client, but it's good to support sending emails into it. There's quite a bit of formatting you can do. When I get an email from the outside world that I want to share with team, I cut and paste it into Slack. But really, I should be able to import that email as an object.

Stewart Butterfield

I got into television in 1998 when I didn't have a computer or even an email address.

Willie Geist

My younger son told me nobody uses email anymore. I'm this old fogie with my email. I don't know what I'm supposed to communicate with now - SnapChat?

Paul Bloom

We're now seeing email that people thought they had deleted showing up as evidence in court. You can't erase email. As that becomes more commonly realized, people will be a little wiser about what they type.

Judith Martin

I'm definitely a romantic comedy dude because I'm a big romantic at heart. I'm a softy, so it's always nice to watch movies that make you think that love at first sight is actually possible.

Sterling Knight

Make eye contact with cute strangers. Give guys your email. Email is safer than a number, or at least it feels that way.

Nikki Glaser

For example, I was discussing the use of email and how impersonal it can be, how people will now email someone across the room rather than go and talk to them. But I don't think this is laziness, I think it is a conscious decision people are making to save time.

Margaret J. Wheatley

The weirdest thing about Hillary Clinton's email 'scandal' is finding out some of our senators still don't use email.

John Legend

It's always nice when you see an email in your inbox that says 'offer,' then you read the email and go, 'Oh, okay. Who's doing it, what's it about?'

Malik Yoba

Everybody in the government with whom I emailed knew that I was using a personal email, and I have said it would have been a better choice to have had two separate email accounts. And I've also tried to not only take responsibility, because it was my decision, but to be as transparent as possible.

Hillary Clinton

There are different usage patterns - I never do email during the day. I don't multitask well at all. I don't know how to be in a meeting and participate and be on email at the same time. I do see some people do it more effectively. I've never quite figured that out.

Sundar Pichai

Whatever you can say in a meeting, you can put in an email. If I have questions, I'll tell you via email.

Mark Cuban

According to a new study, our email is not as safe as we thought. How do they know this? They've been reading my email.

Craig Ferguson

Often times I'll quickly dash off an email or text message when I leave a party. A particularly enjoyable evening, however, that warrants a thank-you note or a phone call. I always say a handwritten note is the ultimate hallmark of a classy woman. But an email is better than nothing.
