Email Tips

are you using email
because it is the most
effective tool for you
or the receiver?

Send messages others
would like to receive.

When possible, do not
send email. Call, visit, flickr,
facebook, wiki or blog.

Instead of using email
to forward news,
post on your blog,
delicious, facebook,
twitter
or a relevant forum.

Use email instead of
social media for specific
business requests

Do not add anyone to a
mailing list without their
consent.

Do not forward
chain letters or petitions.

The best attachment
is usually
no attachment.

State clearly if you are
requesting a response.

Learn the difference
between CC (Carbon Copy)
and BCC (Blind Carbon Copy)

Participate
in respected, independent,
public online forums.

Be generous.
Support the websites you would
like to consult next week.
