Communicating Persuasively: Email or Face-to-Face?
Accroding to an article on PsyBlog, Our intuitive understanding is that face-to-face communication is the most persuasive. In reality, of course, it’s not always possible to meet in person, so email wins out. How, then, do people react to persuasion attempts over email? Persuasion research has uncovered fascinating effects: that men seem more responsive to email because it bypasses their competitive tendencies (Guadagno & Cialdini, 2002). Women, however, may respond better in face-to-face encounters because they are more ‘relationship-minded’. But is this finding just a gender stereotype?
Waterfront, home costs put Barrie on top
According to an article in the Toronto Star, Barrie’s population growth was a key reason George Horhota decided in 2004 to open SuiteWorks (website www.stopcommuting.ca) – a high-tech 120-workstation “telework centre” that allows telecommuters to work from the south end of Barrie as if they were in a company office in downtown Toronto.
Wireless Number Portability Now Available in Canada
As I mentioned in an earlier post, as of March 14, 2007, wireless service providers will make Wireless Number Portability (WNP) available to their customers. This means that customers will be able to switch to any service provider (wireline or wireless) and keep their phone number. Deployment of WNP will include wireless-to-wireless, wireless-to-wireline and wireline-to-wireless porting scenarios.For more information on how to switch phone companies while keeping your number, contact your service provider or go to wirelessnumberportability.ca. I called Rogers today to ask if I could switch a land line to my cell phone and they told me that the number didn’t qualify, so make sure to talk to your provider before making any assumptions.
