[...] over at Blog Fabulous, has gone ballistic on email etiquette and text messaging. I would tend to agree with her. I’m assuming this person was text messaging [...]

Didn’t I read somewhere a while back (I think on one of the b5 media blogs, too!) that Shakespeare is actually going to be headed to mobile phones? in an adapted format? I think it was on Literally Blogging.

Hi Matt,

Actually, I was having this discussion last night and included podcasts as part of the topic…soon we won’t ever have to speak in person to one another again.

Just wait for the day that phones will interpret your voice and type the text message for you. Yes – you use your phone to speak a message to someone! Amazing.

Actually, txt Shakespeare sounds like an awesome idea.

Thanks Karine,

Proper etiquette has really dwindled. I wish someone would write a book on proper etiquette for the 21st century.

Yesss!!! Thank you for addressing one of my biggest pet peeeves. I cannot stand text messaging. To the extent where it hasn’t worked on my phone for like a year and a half and I haven’t bothered to fix it.

I go straight to the point as much as the next time-challenged worker, but I would never, ever send an email without a proper greeting and salutation. It really is a matter of simple and crucial ‘politesse’.

Milo, I know you are correct…and I probably wasn’t expecting such an e-mail…but don’t you think there is a way to have warp speed and etiquette at the same time?

Maybe we need to have someone re-write the rules a bit.

Thank you so much for offering your comment.

Oh yeah, I used to be against this medium. Yet again, we are living in a warp speed environment. You gotta embrace change, before the world changes you.
