Random Thoughts On Email, Social Sites In Business
By Ron 28 August 2008 under sendcube RantsI couldn’t agree more with this post from Business Pundit comparing Obama’s use of social networking effects in his campaign with McCain’s more than dismal attempt. Didn’t we also hear the question being asked if “Obama is a Mac and McCain a PC?” a while ago?

Don’t Leave Your Manners Offline
By Ron 14 August 2008 under Tips & Best Practices
You can be anything you want to be online, and your company is just waiting to tap on the endless possibilities. But first, read our etiquette guide to make sure you’re not in danger of letting your dark side take over:Monster Marketer #1: The Invader
Think about the people you’d love to keep at arm’s length: the strangers at parties who stand way too close and are way too generous with their hugs and kisses, the dreaded acquaintance who crashes social gatherings and invites himself to hang out at your apartment, or the colleague who reads over your shoulder and steals your stationery. Here’s what they have in common: they don’t ask for permission. Ever. The same rules apply online, and not asking your recipients if they would like to hear from you counts as very bad manners indeed. Even if you know your recipients in some capacity (and that includes your best friends, by the way), don’t assume they’d appreciate emails from your company – always ask first. It may not be apparent, but it costs money and takes time to download your emails (and to chuck or report them as spam if necessary), so it pays to be considerate.
