Declaration of Email Signatures - Via Netiquette IQ

In my book, "Netiquette IQ - A Comprehensive Guide to Improve, Enhance and Add Power to Your Email" and this blog, there is one is consistent theme about technology vs. tradition. That is for all of the huge benefits which new capabilities bring, there are other downsides in a reduction with detail and consideration. This is why Netiquette is so important . . . to balance the two in order to achieve an equilibrium of ideal benefit. 

When I found the video above, I had to include it in this blog as a caricature of technology and change going too far. Additionally, I have added a segment from my book on some basic Netiquette guidelines. Please enjoy and learn from both!

Signature address

In closing an email, every closing is a separate paragraph and should be ended with a comma.

1)   Do not use programs that stamp every email.

2)   Include as much useful information as possible.

3)   Keep multiple signatures.

4)   Avoid logos that are attachments, personal philosophies, politics, or religious themes.

5)   Avoid signatures in a script, particularly if it is not one’s own.
