Hello. I have a Web site and sell jewelry. Once or twice a month, I send out an Web site email to my valued clients and mailing list members with significant news. I can see when people read the emails and I will get several responses back like from Blackberry users, especially. They will shoot a line or two back real quick to say: "Oh, I got your email and I will check out your site, later tonight", or "Hey! Congrat's on that photo shoot spread, I will check it out later over the weekend when I come back home"!, etc. Of course, you know most never do.

It seems to me, that hand-held devices may be taking away business? There was a time when Web sites were basically stationed on your computer and people surfed the Internet at home or business. Now, people are going cell phone crazy and text crazy and I worry that people aren't going on the Internet anymore. The reason for many Web sites is to have a business....and mailing lists are to send out the emails for your business....but if people are intercepting the emails on their cell phones during the day when commuting, not at home...it's a struggle and it doesn't seem effective anymore? Does anyone else feel this way or see where I am going with this thought?
