voicemail.pngTech writer Michael Arrington wishes everyone would stop using voicemail because it takes too much time to listen to a message (versus reading it), and checking traditional voicemail is outside of a computer-based workflow. Arrington goes as far as to avoid voicemail completely—he let his voicemail box get full, and never emptied it so he can't receive new messages. Is Arrington just cranky, or should traditional voicemail die? Or should we figure out ways to make it work, like using voice to text transcription services? Tell us what you think after the jump.
