NPR Books Grid: 2/4-2/10
I’ve been meaning to post about email etiquette and more than that, usage trends and tips, particularly since many people have migrated their back-and-forth exchanges to discussion groups like Google Groups and Basecamp. What are your top email likes and dislikes? Do you prefer discussions to be conducted over email? Or in a discussion group? Leave your comments below.
