• 1. Netspeak.  Although electronic communication is still young, many conventions have already been established. DO NOT TYPE IN ALL CAPS. This is regarded as shouting and is out of place in a classroom. Acronyms and emoticons (arrangements of symbols to express emotions) are popular, but excessive use of them can make your message difficult to read. Some common ones include:
   
   
   
        Acronyms   Emoticons     FYI = for your information   :-) = smiley face: happiness, pleasure     B/C = because   :-( = frowning face: displeasure     W/  = with   ;-) = wink     BTW = by the way   :-0 = shock, surprise     F2F = face to face   :-/ = skepticism, unease, apologetic     FAQ = frequently asked questions 

  • Emoticons are being recognized by academic institutions as acceptable representations of communication in regards to online etiquette.

• 6. The language of the Internet. Though still a fairly young type of communication, certain aspects of this form of communication are becoming conventional. For example, do not write using all capital letters, because it will appear as shouting. Also, the use of emoticons can be helpful when used to convey nonverbal feelings (example: :-) or :-( ), but avoid overusing them.

  • Emoticons are being recognized by academic institutions as acceptable, if not encouraged (in moderation), representations of communication in regards to online etiquette.

• If your business involves meeting with clients, you know what a hassle scheduling can be. Doesn't matter if you're a real-estate agent, a financial advisor, or a contractor—appointment management can be a full-time job.

  • blog style writing
• I've rounded up a quartet of online-scheduling services designed for exactly that purpose. Their core function is to post your available time slots so clients can choose the one(s) they want.

  • List providing proof of applications for small business.
• All four services offer some kind of free account or trial so you can test the waters. But even the most expensive of the lot will cost you a lot less than human personnel. And they never take sick days.

• Acuity

  • links provided for products mentioned.
