If you are not a very communicative type, do not be disappointed. In a short time you will have at your disposal an entire arsenal consisting of all those online tools needed to turn communication into an art and develop your skills. So let's go: Attractive emails.
The truth is that if you expect me to answer you in the electronic letter, you should add at least one emoticon, as the smiley or non-smiling faces that contribute to electronic communication are called. At least this is what she advises Crystal, according to a recent publication of the scientific magazine New Scientist.
Crystal Knows, a new company based in Nashville, Tennessee, characterizes it application που δημιούργησε ως τη μεγαλύτερη βελτίωση για το ηλεκτρονικό ταχυδρομείο από την εποχή που ανακαλύφθηκε ο αυτόματος ορθογραφικός έλεγχος. Στην πραγματικότητα, η εφαρμογή είναι ένας μόνον αντιπρόσωπος της νέας γενιάς εργαλείων που υπόσχονται να μας κάνουν να επικοινωνούμε πιο αποτελεσματικά. Η λειτουργία της εφαρμογής είναι μάλλον απλή. Αρκεί αρχικώς να πληροφορήσεις το σύστημα ποιος είναι αυτός με τον οποίο θέλεις να επικοινωνήσεις. Η εφαρμογή, αφού κάνει μία ενδελεχή έρευνα σε ό,τι έχει αναρτήσει στο Διαnetwork ο επίδοξος παραλήπτης της επιστολής, κυρίως στα μέσα κοινωνικής δικτύωσης, θα σου παρουσιάσει μία ολοκληρωμένη λίστα προτάσεων κάνοντας χρήση κάποιων τεστ που ερευνούν τα πέντε μεγάλα χαρακτηριστικά της προσωπικότητας. Με αυτόν τον τρόπο θα σε βοηθήσει να γράψεις το Email in such a way as to have the best possible response.
For an email to the editor, the app suggests I avoid standard greetings and don't burden him with things he's heard a thousand times before. On the contrary, for the email to my partner, the application suggests that I make fun of myself, while for those who email me first, it suggests placing an emoticon.
You can also answer some questions about the recipient of your letter (If there was a quarrel in the office, how would you react?). The software will use your answers to create a portrait of the person you are communicating with.
Crystal founder Drew D'Agostino believes the app will enable people who work together, primarily, to build better relationships and more effective communication. “We all have some level of anxiety when sending emails. Crystal does not help you as if it were a robot to manage all of your emails. It helps you understand how they write such letters and how people communicate."
Techniques to handle excessive volume of information
There are other tools you can use in your online contacts. The Emotional Labor Brewer Extension, created by Gin McNeil, will fill the Email with exclamation marks, smiling faces and tender words, a kind of linguistic sugar that you can sprinkle with the push of a button.
Επίσης, οι πιο αφηρημένοι μπορούν να κατεβάσουν το BroApp, ένα πρόγραμμα το οποίο θα στέλνει στη συντροφό σας σύντομα μηνύματα στο mobile, όπως «γειά σου, μωρό μου, πώς ήταν η μέρα σου;» και «μου λείπεις».
Apps like Crystal and the rest approach a very modern one problem: the huge amount of electronic communication we have to manage every day. According to one study, employees spend 28% of their time reading the emails they receive. Another study, published last year, estimated that the time spent by doctors at the Pennsylvania State University School of Medicine reading the emails they receive costs about a million dollars.
According to the research that has been done, we should find ways to filter our emails more effectively so that we only spend time on what interests us. The Teller company in Stockholm, Sweden is trying to build an email navigator that will record user behavior by noting which emails they ignore and how they spend their time on email in general so that the app recommends the most interesting emails.
A new company from Chicago, Charlie, offers another method of managing the excessive amount of information available on the Internet. Instead of having to do a lot of research on Google, the app will let you know about your new acquaintances. In particular, the application "combs" your calendar on Google for future appointments and then searches the Internet for information about the people who will participate in them. The day before the meeting, the app delivers you a folder with all the information you need. According to co-founder Aaron Frazin, Charlie helps you make a good impression. If, for example, he mentions that your new client is a big fan of the Chicago Camps, you might find a way to talk about baseball during the meeting. If the company you work with has tweeted about a new product, you will probably remember it and congratulate them on the new product. "Technology speeds up communication. "This means that we need to adapt and make sure that the discussion is as productive as possible." difficult to understand from a few posts on Facebook and Twitter.
