However, the emails you should have responded to but haven't, ought to become bigger and hairier as they get older. And the time of arrival is but one factor to take into account. I also like the "empty inbox" concept, but for me is more an ideal to strive for than an actual reality... Amusing.

I'm of the "empty inbox" school of thinking, which simplifies the problem. Since I empty my email once a day, I don't need to visualize anything (except peace of mind? :-) Process each message one-by-one, moving each into the proper place - trash, actions list, archive.

I checked out the demo on the website. The problem with bugs is that they don't convey who a message is from or what the message is about, which tend to be pretty important. (I imagine fruitlessly trying to click on skittering creatures in attempt to find that one e-mail I need). But I like the intent... I don’t know…

I first thought "unresponded" meant "unreplied emails that I've sent" - but it means "unprocessed [unread]", right? BTW, I do agree there is a lot of useless GTD fever, but I cannot really see how this visualization toy would help you go through your inbox. Thinking of it again, would be cool to list "unresponded" emails... I'll hack this for Gnus. Hey, that’s funny.
