It's not the fault of the email sender, but nonetheless, any reason to pass....Emily Blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02163221455899041141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25895692.post-69038975752127769532012-05-18T15:27:49.639-07:002012-05-18T15:27:49.639-07:00Agreed.

I think of email as beyond the boundaries of business hours. I've always felt that it was up to the recipient to monitor it on their end, meaning they get to choose when they open their emails. If they don't want to work on Sunday, well, open the emails on Monday then.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25895692.post-17414279070610606772012-05-18T11:23:11.899-07:002012-05-18T11:23:11.899-07:00Emailng on a Sunday is bad?

If you don't want email on Sunday, don't read it until Monday. EMAILS ARE NOT PHONE CALLS. I email people at two in the morning because that's when I'm up. It's not like I expect an immediate response. Sheesh. <br /><br />That said, I think the biggest problem is that people don't look past their own nose when it comes to social media. If you want to Tweet someone a proposal -- best to get to "know" them first. Establish some rapport. Find out what their boundaries are. If they seem open, great. If not -- go their preferred route. As you say, being available on social media is not an invitation to deluge people with your crap.David Anaxagorashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05924118968394615841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25895692.post-35528136739882196202012-05-18T00:11:40.755-07:002012-05-18T00:11:40.755-07:00I hate pitching and think it's dumb.

I can't even imagine pitching pitching via Facebook.<br /><br />On the other hand...Carson did pick my pitch as one of the top 100 during TwitPitch (and, no, I don't know what that signifies, nor do I know what to do about it). So, as you can imagine, I am paying more attention to tweets.<br /><br />In conclusion: many kids're jerks who couldn't pour piss out of a boot if the instructions were printed on the heel. They are tonedeaf emotionally and otherwise.Jeff Pulicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557790577435036365noreply@blogger.com
