Cool things this week.

This week we learned our new vocab words for this week. I am compelled to say that these words are very difficult and most annoying, but some how I have learned them. We Were also asked to read a partners blog post and make suggestions on how to make it better. 

The thing I found most enjoyable this week was learning what not to view on the internet. Say someone sends you an email that states the bank lost your information. That may as well be an identity thief. The bank would never send you an email to tell your information. 

 We Also learned a tremendous amount of rules concerning sending emails to co-workers. 

1. All caps is considered over shouting
2. don't over punctuate
3. Use capitalization and punctuation so they can understand the message
4. using abbreviations is confusing to co-workers
5. avoid emoticons
6. ETC. 

      As well as these rules which came from our teachers power point

Some Things to Think of Before You Hit Send

1. Is this information needed for them to do their job
2. Timely
3. Relevant
4. Complete

   
   Some more fascinating information.

    paragraphs  and bullets are are needed in e-mails

      Use keywords in subject line

      Break message into sections.

      If topic is emailed more than 3 times then you should just call them 

      If a heated email is written wait 24 hours before you send

      When businesses/legitimate site that asks for personal information you need to put it into spam folder.

This is but a taste of what exciting things we are learning in class. 
Lastly we learned what an RSS is and what we use it for.
RSS stands for really simple syndication and is mostly used for subscribing to blogs. Shown to the right.
