Social Media*n*

Remember this? Seems archaic, doesn't it? There's an innocence about it; would you agree? No call waiting or answering machine. A simple jingle would elicit a simple "Hello". No screening, believe it or not. Remember the Seinfeld episode below? Ahhh, it's a tad humiliating to know we're being listened to, as we leave our words of wisdom or message of warmth.

So, moving ahead just a few, we have more means of communication than ev-ah. If one is using social media for business purposes, his or her etiquette had better be up to par. But what about use for simple communication purposes? How does one make the decision, for example, to ignore an e-mail or three, over the course of several weeks, rather than simply hitting "Reply"? Maybe we need a new version of EMILY POST to set a few guidelines for a value median. Of course, there are endless articles online, addressing the issue; one would need a curator to organize them. Do basic manners no longer apply?
