Email
Email is the most popular use of the Internet, by far. Many people use email and
don't use the Web, even if they have Web access.
- Ever get emails saying: Urgent-virus alert?
Go to www.symantec.com/avcenter/hoax.html
for Bud frogs, $800 from Microsoft, and lots of others. All the most recent ones
will be posted here. They also have information on real viruses. Go to the link to the
Virus Center on the left of the screen.
- Having problems connecting with commercial real estate
brokers? Try sending email - sometimes it works!! Many are too busy to talk with
appraisers during office hours, but answer their emails before or after business hours.
- I use email mailing lists to keep me
informed of what my appraisal association is doing, both locally and nationally, set up
"meetings at the bar" when attending conferences, find out what appraisers think
about a topic, etc. There are lists for general chit-chat, marketing, general information,
and data exchange. The number of lists keep expanding. You can even start your own list!
- To sign up for my FREE weekly email update, go to the Free email newsletter page.
- Email has developed its own etiquette, which I call netiquette.
Before posting a message in all caps or some other faux-paux, read Netiquette
and Smileys for appraisers!
- Getting overwhelmed with email? Check out How
to manage your email.
- For a good joke, go to the How to tell
you're an email junkie page.
