I have to wonder if email is almost faster these days than conventional websites. Of course I am going to TechCrunch once I hear on Twitter that something tech-related happened... But couldn't I have already gotten an email on my smartphone instantly?

Email is old and antiquated, but it is the closest thing bloggers have to push access to all their readers. I know my droid buzzes every time I get an email; it might be time for bloggers to take advantage of this.
