We’ll be brief: Lengthy<br />
replies no longer apply.<br />
After examining 16 billion<br />
digital dispatches, a team<br />
of researchers from the<br />
University of Southern<br />
California and Yahoo Labs<br />
discovered that age factors<br />
into the conciseness of<br />
our correspondence. “We<br />
found that younger people<br />
are more active and send<br />
much shorter replies,” says<br />
Farshad Kooti, the study’s<br />
author and a Ph.D. student<br />
at USC. “They’re used to<br />
having short, fast communication.”<br />
The inbox<br />
analysis also revealed that<br />
emails become increasingly<br />
similar in length toward<br />
the middle of a thread. It’s<br />
when word counts differ<br />
dramatically that you<br />
know the conversation’s<br />
over. Message received.<br />
The most<br />
common<br />
email<br />
response is<br />
5<br />
words.<br />
More than<br />
90 percent<br />
of replies are<br />
sent within a<br />
day, so don’t<br />
hold your<br />
breath if your<br />
inbox is still<br />
empty after<br />
24 hours.<br />
