email: SOCIAL MEDIA : LOOSE LIPS AND SINKING SHIPS - 06/10/10 11:17 AM
The Internet has become an even greater melting pot. Online and offline lives are blurred. Many people seem to live their lives online and communicate with a world of people they may never have met. Every detail of their lives is shared in Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn, Twitter, Wordpress, Digg, Reddit...and of course email.
There are some very positive benefits to this incredible online world, I'm the first to admit it. I have clients around the US with whom I've developed relationships using purely online methods that I wouldn't have dreamed of a few years ago. I can share information so easily, … (4 comments)

email: EMAIL FAUX PAS, ETIQUETTE ET AL : 10 THINGS TO AVOID - 12/07/09 09:09 AM
Part 1 of 2
Email is so pervasive in our lives that many people, I'm sure, wouldn't know what to do with themselves if someone pulled the Internet plug. A few short years ago, email was considered an "unreliable" delivery mechanism, meaning that if you had something of importance to say or send, you'd better use a backup plan to be sure your recipient got it.
No more. Email is routinely subpoenaed in legal cases. It's considered in many courts to be as good as a written contract and there are several "contract" sites that rely on email for contract execution. … (4 comments)

email: What did he mean...? Emoticons 101 - 05/01/09 02:35 PM
DAVE'S FRIDAY FEATURE
Figured I'd end the week with something fun.
You seen them all over the place. If you text, email, play online games, post on blogs, or do anything using social media, you seen them. They're part of the everyday lexicon of web users. They add to a message what cannot always been perceived from the content itself: emotion.
Many people know some of the basic ones :) but not everyone knows most of the more commonly-used emoticons :(, so here's a quick primer that will help you take another step away from being a n00b ("noob" – a … (3 comments)

email: SOMETIMES AN OPT-OUT LINK MAY NOT BE ENOUGH - 04/22/09 09:38 AM
As nearly everyone knows, SPAM is "unsolicited bulk email". However, what some people may not realize is that just providing an "opt-out" to recipients does not qualify their message as "not spam".
Many bulk email systems used for marketing require what is known as "confirmed opt-it" addresses. Simply put, this is an address that has been verified and that the recipient wants to receive messages.
In may places on the Internet, by law, an "opt-out" link must be prominently displayed, along with company information from the sender, but sending an unsolicited email with the opt-out link and company information may not … (3 comments)

email: HANDS FREE MARKETING - 10 THINGS TO INCLUDE IN YOUR EMAIL SIGNATURE - 02/18/09 02:13 PM
There is a marketing school of thought (to which I subscribe) which states that in order to be remembered, a brand must be seen by a potential client a dozen times or so.
So what has this got to do with email signatures?
Quite a lot, actually.
An email signature is one of those things that people you send messages to see repeatedly. These are not always people with whom you are doing business. If you have an attractive or interesting caption, picture, quote or...anything, it can lead to a question, conversation, networking and business. Best of all it's free and, … (17 comments)

email: Forget to do something on your PC? Next time use the Windows Task Scheduler! - 01/11/09 02:39 PM
Microsoft introduced the Windows Task Scheduler several years ago. It's one of those useful little tools that not too many people know about but comes in rather useful from time to time.
As the name implies, Task Scheduler allows you to set up an "appointment" to accomplish a task or run a program at a point or recurring time in the future. The scheduler is used by many programs already. For example, when you configure your antivirus software to update itself at 1:00 in the morning, it probably uses the Task Scheduler to store that information. If you have backup software, … (3 comments)

email: Year-End Cleanup : 7.5 Ways to a Faster Computer - 12/31/08 12:04 PM
A tidy computer is a faster computer, both in terms of performance and the ease with which you can find things on it. Over the course of the year, we get a lot of clutter, bits and pieces of software and files we no longer need immediate access to. Here are seven (and a half) ways to get your (Windows) computer ready for the New Year.
Out with the old. If you have older documents, consider archiving them. There are a couple of ways to do this. An ideal solution is to back them up to an external device (or even … (9 comments)

email: Social Networking in 2009 - 12/29/08 08:23 AM
The growth of social media has been explosive in 2008, there's just no other way to describe it. Whether you use Twitter, ActiveRain, Blogger, Wordpress, Facebook, LinkedIn or another or all of the social networking tools, you'll have seen unprecedented growth in all of these and, with any such growth, come two very real risks: overkill and marginalization.
Email was hailed, and still is, a communication revolution. Like the telephone before it, email allows quick, almost instantaneousness transfer of information. Unlike the telephone, it can be more readily-accessible, in most cases free, allows the attachment of files and distribution to … (9 comments)

email: Click-done...uh-oh... - 12/19/08 04:43 PM
This post comes on heels of a comment left by someone in a previous post. My last couple of ramblings have concerned the use of electronic communication and questioned the social impact. This particular post relates to the legal.
If you've heard, seen or read news about several major legal cases over the past year or more, you'll have heard that email records are increasingly being used in court. Enron was probably the first big case that came to everyone's attention, but the use of email and other electronic records (ie instant messages), has been growing.
Many companies now include an … (4 comments)

email: Does convenience trump thoughtfulness? - 12/18/08 11:53 AM
Maybe it's just the time of year or perhaps it's the spell for rather chilly weather we're having here in the "Valley of the Sun", but (as you can tell from previous posts), I've been thinking much about electronic communication of late.
When email and instant messaging first debuted on what was then a fledgling Internet, there was some debate as to the social acceptance of these communication methods. Firing off an email is quicker and easier than writing or typing a letter. It's also cheaper and timelier. More often than not, you can even tell whether it's been received and … (4 comments)

email: Many a (true) word... - 12/17/08 06:37 PM
There's an old saying: "many a true word is said in jest". An email newsletter from a friend of mine got me thinking along similar lines this morning. In her newsletter, she mentioned that she'd typed it all up and then hit the wrong button, losing it all.
Now, granted, that's not quite the same as saying something, followed by an immediate "just kidding", but it does make me think of a saying that should be part of the everyday lexicon: "many a (true) word is sent by mistake".
Yes, I'm referring to the old "I didn't mean to send it...did … (16 comments)

email: Blackberry and Texting Etiquette - 07/20/08 02:34 PM
An increasingly large number of my RE clients are getting Blackberrys (or is it Blackberries...) and other texting devices. After all, it's a tried-and-tested technology for those on the move. But speed and convenience seems to be leading to short replies that may be misinterpreted...
When your email is routed to your Blackberry and you want to reply, it's relatively straightforward: type and send. However, the nature of the devices tends to mean that quick, one-liners are the norm. I often get these in reply, with a message footer "Sent from my Blackberry". I know that a short and often abrupt-seeming … (9 comments)
