			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-471" style="margin-right: 5px;margin-bottom: 5px;" title="pavlov's dog on twitter, facebook, gmail" src="http://www.khaitan.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/pavlov.jpg" alt="pavlov's dog on twitter, facebook, gmail" width="99" height="160" />That sweet sound of an @reply on my twhirl makes me rush to the laptop, a new email alert makes me fire the browser irrespective of that email being read &amp; replied later. The list goes on and on..the itch to check/change the status on facebook, to continuous monitoring of analytics data.</p>
<p>I hate my mobile email &#8212; I check, check, check..but postpone the response &#8216;coz the form factor is good for reading only &#8212; so the email doesn&#8217;t get responded or time is wasted to revisit it.</p>
<p>Feels like we have become a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivan_Pavlov#Legacy">Pavlovian dog</a> to the ever increasing distractions on the web. If you are developer on a <a href="http://www.paulgraham.com/makersschedule.html">maker&#8217;s schedule</a>, the loss of concentration is busting the efficiency.</p>
<p>We are not going to kick the Pavlovian habit, nor we gonna kick the tools we have &#8212; but the tools have to get smarter in their delivery of these small bits of information, which they are falling behind on. I&#8217;m still waiting for a combined email, social network tool which prioritizes, filters, reminds, and work as personal crm tool rather than separate units of email client, social client, mobile client, readers, etc.</p>
<p>&#8220;When I&#8217;m in a deep Java debugging session on eclipse, please do not email me, pause all the tweets except from my wife, cousin and investor&#8221; &#8212; huh, the desktop anti-virus applies a bit of that intelligence already, why can&#8217;t my email do the same?</p>
<p>One of my resolutions of 2010 is to do something or get something done in this area (or aggressively consume a product if someone is already doing it).</p>
