Oh Lord won't you buy me… training on online communications…

You see here’s the thing. When you write something in an e-mail, you need to realize that you are putting something in the public domain. When I give talks on the “new” PR tools, I always remind people that e-mail is part of the disclosure process for litigation. I also remind them that once you compose and send an e-mail you don’t have any control. It’s time we all started understanding that.

Want an example? OK.

Phil Harvey, news editor at the widely read Telecoms outlet Light Reading has a fantastic example for you. Click on it, read it, understand it and alter your behaviour…. Thanks to Phil for the public service.
