likeability: Are You Happy To Hear From Me? - 06/21/09 08:24 PM
Hi Mom Every time I call my mom she answers the telephone as if she doesn’t know it’s me calling.  I know she knows it’s me because she has caller ID. And now, she knows that I know that she knows it’s me calling. Are you still following me?
Even that doesn’t stop her from pretending that she doesn’t know who I am when I call. She does this with everyone.

likeability: We Like People Who Are Like Us - 12/01/06 03:40 AM
Last week I wrote about the importance of projecting likeability over the Internet. Today I want to start the first of 10 articles on how to do just that.
To start, there is nothing about being likeable that is politically correct. For example, we tend to like (move toward) good-looking people and we tend to not like (move away from) people who are not good looking. Is that fair?
