George Clooney does it. Jimmy Kimmel does it.

I’m talking about leaving a killer voicemail message.

Technology allows for new forms of messaging in the same way that admirals communicated with subs, ships and sonar during the cold war…

In today’s techie world, there are subtleties in
- missed call with no voicemail
- missed call with a text message follow-up
- missed call with a ONE-way voicemail
- internal voicemail left without a phone call (two people on the same carrier)
- no voicemail just a text message
- missed call with a voicemail previewing an email
And finally the dreaded
- one-ring-only missed call (made popular by Sports Illustrated writer OReilly) as a way of talking sports smack without having to talk

Voicemail feels super intimate and in LA, producers are taught to give good ‘phone’.

The voicemail works great when you’re using man-charm http://gigaom.com/2008/02/21/howtoworktheroom/ because older men hate new fangled technology (half of NFL owners have an AOL email VS steve@NYgiants.com or LarryChiang9@ChicagoBears.com).

Another voicemail problem is that people listen to them while they’re multitasking. Simultaneous Communication Attention (SCA) of voicemail + computer + TV is better than
Reading an Email + computer + TV
