Anything that helps to make the daily deluge of e-mail more effective is worthwhile.

Stever Robbins offers some ways to make e-mail more effective.

This suggestions will go down well with your boss 🙂

If you are constantly copied on things, begin replying to e-mails that aren’t relevant with the single word: “Relevant?” Of course, you explain that this is a favor to them. Now, they can learn what is and isn’t relevant to you. Beforehand, tell them the goal is to calibrate relevance, not to criticize or put them down and encourage them to send you relevancy challenges as well. Pretty soon, you’ll be so well trained you’ll be positively productive!

Long-time blogging PR maestro Michael O’Connor Clarke, who among other things was the first PR pro to have a speaking slot at a major blogging conference, has kicked off a new blog venture, Flackster.

It’s part of the Corante stable of blogs which deal with areas from venture capital to e-business and communications.

Michael’s mission statement for the new blog is:

Flackster explores, through the voices of PR professionals, journalists, cultural commentators and others, how the rapid rise of social media and participatory journalism is impacting both the business of news reporting and the role of public relations.

Michael’s always worth a read.
