@Nick Messaging revolution - love that! :) FB email is so darn broken, it bugs me daily. I'd love to see even some simple add-ons, like flagging, folders, forward, archive, etc. I was just talking about my 115 unanswered FB emails here:

@Neil thank you SO much for saying that about GTD. I keep going back to the book and just cannot seem to "get" it!! Freestyling rocks! :)

That's true Teresa ... I think you never know but at a certain point you can't have long-term relationships with everyone you run into. Only a few get that privilege ;)

Wouldn't it be fantastic if our lives were so easily categorized? Yes, it's possible to rank the priority with which we treat individuals in our lives with some level of accuracy. But life is more random than that. You never know who is going to turn out to be important in the long run.

That system only ranks communication by people, not by what those people have to say to you. So, you'll effectively be presuming that a person will only ever say something of a certain level of importance to you. That just wouldn't work for me, because I never know what people are going to say to me next.

I doubt I'll ever get in to GTD stuff, and I've tried once already. It turns into a hobby, and that's time you could be spending on actually doing stuff. I'd rather scramble through with a freestyle system, and only do what is most important to me right there and then. That's what you'll ultimately do anyway.
