SheikYerbuti Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 For various reasons, I don't like talking to people, so for me texting and email are my top 2 depending on how much I need to tell someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duchess Jack Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 (edited) 1) email 2) somebody finds the wench to relay a message 3) phone (so long as its not small talk) 4) text (so long as I am looking for a one or two word answer) 5) in person (small talk is acceptable) I communicate with friends through xbox live a bunch as well.

Ditkaless Wonders Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 CB, shortwave, and carrier pigeon are not getting enough play here.

Instant messaging - NEVER Pm at the huddle - Rarely unless I'm narcing on someone to the mods Two cans connected by string - Like these? Other There are so many ways to reach out to someone nowadays.

skylive5 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 meow? LOL I was thinking the same thing. For those that don't know...think he meant to say Morse Code. Since face to face is not allowed.... I guess I would go with nothing. Or maybe posting at the Huddle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Depends on the purpose work/business email - have a trail of discussions and agreements phone - when the topic gets too complicated for the back and forth of email personal email - if it short and simple, people who can/do reply regularly phone - for catching up with people, those who do not use email much text - when its too loud to hear, or catch the other person able to answer phone Still prefer face to face for many things, and need to use that at work with some people who just won't take action (or respond) to emails. I only fax those people who do not allow for emailing attachments, its become extremely low usage in the business world. Don't tweet, facebook, skype, etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikesVikes Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 I just started tweeting yesterday, and now I feel like I have to decide how to do things more. The advantage here is there's no limitation on pictures you can view. Btw, I don't need any texts of anyone's junk either. I've seen Magic Mike already.

MikesVikes Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 When I'm at work and the choices are between fax and e-mailing a document, I still prefer the old fax machine. Otherwise I have to scan a document into the computer and save it, then find it back and send it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise I have to scan a document into the computer and save it, then find it back and send it. Sounds like your office is still very paper intensive. Most things I'm thinking of faxing or emailing already exist on some computer system. If I want to fax I can usually do that without printing it first. I work for a small business software company, and we've been going more and more away from printing things, as have our users. They fax or email most things (orders, invoices, etc.), some use document imaging to save their originals, or we can reprint (hard copy, fax or email) things on demand from the system. The old days of having filing cabinets filled with internal copies of things you send to your customers & suppliers is slowing going away.
