There has been quite a lot of publicity recently over the 20th anniversary of the world wide web. The invention of Tim Burners-Lee gave us the facility to create websites and access them without getting involved in computer language.In 20 years things have moved on a lot and most of us have a vitual profile to go alongside our physical one. However the vitual one comes with some dangers!When we meet and communicate with people physically there are a number of things to help understand what we’re saying and what we’re like:
However when we operate in the virtual World (e-mail) your receiver doesn’t have these advantages - they can only interpret your words by what they think you mean (not always right). A simple example is having asked for and received information or advice from a contact how many of us forget to say thankyou? How are we seen?Its a common courtesy.

Quote from Glyn Britton in the ‘Telegraph Business Club’, strategy Partner at Albion:-
“Challenge the status quo in your category.
Work out where large rivals are being lazy, and disrupt it - You can afford to, they can’t.
Have a clear purpose, it could even be negative - in Nike’s early days, they apparently wanted to ‘crush Reebok’.
Don’t spend months polishing your product. Get a prototype out there as soon as you can.”
Worth thinking about.
