I Can't Believe You Sent That: E-mail Disasters, Large and Small and How to Avoid Them

The real problem with email lies in its quality, not quantity. People make too many mistakes with email -- "Reply All" disasters, for example. And many people email mindlessly, with language too casual or too cold. In our forthcoming book, SEND (due out April 2007), we explore ways -- based on science and our own experience -- to create emails that are less annoying and more effective. We'll present these, along with the results of an anecdotal survey revealing what about email most aggravates SXSW participants (join the discussion in advance at www.thinkbeforeyousend.com). First 100 panel attendees get free review copy of the book.
