Or more generally, Dave Taylor, Mac / UNIX / Web Guru, asks How quickly should companies respond to customer email?.
I’ve gotten quite a bit of email in the past several days and I’m currently trying to answer within 24 hours. This will probably get longer over time.

Happy Apps is a one man operation, so that definitely puts limits on how fast I get to respond. Maybe I should try to shorten my replies, but I like to be thorough. Also there are blog entries all around the world that I try to respond to. Those are just as important as emails to me.
