Seth Godin put out a blog post today about making an email checklist . Â He referenced an article by Chris Anderson trying to accomplish the same. And of course there’s my rant in February on encouraging people to think before they hit “reply all”. Â Why are we all writing about this? Because we get too much email right now. Â The average person takes 30-60 seconds reading any given email. If you receive just 60 emails, you’ve spent an hour on that just cognitively processing them. Â If you have to open and read, that time goes up. Â How much time do you suppose you spend reading email? So these gentlemen have tried to come up with a list of rules for email to help streamline the process.

Â “These people look like they are thinking something weird” or “I wish these people were doing something instead of just standing still”. Â Trying to find the image that captures your business is definitely tough. Which then led me to keywords. Â At some level if I can narrow my search to the right keywords I should find more images that are worthy of consideration and less that make me want to throw up (sorry – been at this awhile now). Â What did I find? Â Different people who post the pictures use keywords in different ways. Where I was looking for “business people”, the site I […] Continue reading
