I used to use my school's webmail. When I switched to gmail, I leaned about gmail notifier, which tells me as soon as I get an email. Instead of checking twice a day, I respond immediately. Are you talking about differences in response times on this time-scale?

That maybe the reason. The notifier not the fact that gmail users maybe more web savvy or anything else like that.

Making use of the notifier would imply one's heightened savvy, no?
