Top 10 E-Mail Pet Peeves
knows whats up.
- Stop including Word documents that you could have easily pasted in the e-mail.
- When you are organizing a party, please the invite, I don’t really care about most your friends (who I don’t even know) telling me they can’t make it.
- Stop e-mailing me back with “Thanks”. Only e-mail me back if you have more questions or if there are any problems.
- When you change e-mail address, don’t inform me from your old address, send it from your new e-mail address!
- We’ve been e-mailing each other for a while now, you can stop being formal. Stop opening with my name and stop signing off with yours, I already know who we are.
- If you’re going to have to use a signature, please keep it short without any fruity fonts, colors or logos.
- Why include your email address in your signature? I received the mail from you, so I already got your e-mail address.
- When resending an e-mail or attachment, please use the same subject so the e-mail thread stays intact.
- CAPS IS CONSIDERED YELLING, YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS BY NOW!
- Stop asking if I got you’re email. Yes, I got it. Did I read it? That’s the question you should have asked.
i (heart) geotaggin’
Flickr geotagging is possibly the best waste of precious time, I’ve had in a while. Super fun to try and remember where you took your pictures and map it. Intuitive interface, just drag and drop. Pile multiple photos taken in the same place and they get sorted by uploading order or date. Neat stuff.
If you have a flickr account you should check it out. Its under organize, last tab on the right…map.
happy taggin.
what the facebook!
So back in the summer when we were working on the GM youth portal the idea of advertising on facebook came up, that and flavor of the year myspace. When I did my research into facebook I was met with the inability to register since I was no longer in school. At the time you needed to be a current student, with a student email address. A short month later I was contacted by the facebook team with a message telling me I was allowed to register with a non acedemic email address and that I was welcome aboard. I signed up that day and low and behold my company wasn’t in the database so I entered it to be registered.
A few weeks later I check back to see if others I had told had signed up for facebook, there was one singular person from my company on facebook, once they were added my facebook account stayed stagnent for a long while. By late november I had a few more friends added from maclaren but nothing too big round 4 or 5.
Fast forward to about 1 month ago, I started to get emails with friend requests from the girls at the dance studio. Looks like facebook had hit the teen sceen, and while I was all for adding these people I knew they really wern’t the classmates I was hoping to find on facebook. a short week later and I got my first old friend from highschool, was facebook finally hitting the everyday internet surfer? Yes, yes it was. In the last two weeks I’ve overheard and joined in conversations about facebook on the go train. Re-kindeled friendships that were broken up when i didnt go off to university like 95% of my classmates and left messages on the walls of people I havent talked to in 10 plus years. TO me its surprising that facebook took so long to reach the masses when its a really simple and powerful tool.
Unlike classmates that charge you, facebook is free to everybody which is great. Not only that but its got some great simple tools that make reaching back to friends really simple. Couple that with some great photo tools, (no flickr integration sadly) the ability to integrate your own RSS feed from an outside source to populate your blog and a generally easy to use navigation and content structure and you’ve got a great online tool that brings people together, simply and effectivley.
kudos to you facebook a job done well.
