*Top 10 Ways to Get People to Read and Respond to Your Emails-*

Email is the most frequently used communication tool in business
today. It’s easy, fast and you can communicate with others while on the go. Less intrusive than a phone call or a text message, it allows for convenient communication and quick turnaround.

Most of us receive hundreds of emails a day and so do our clients and customers. That’s the main reason why messages can get lost or ignored in the email shuffle.

Here are 10 tips to keep in mind if you want to make a good impression and increase the likelihood that your emails will get a response.

Make your subject line specific. Just like you read a headline before deciding to click on an article, recipients evaluate an email’s importance by its subject line. Keep the subject brief, relevant and specific. After meeting someone for the first time, I always try to include their first name in the subject line and how I know them. For example, “Hi Ron, we met at the charity fundraiser last Saturday,” is more eye-catching than, “Following up,” or “Great meeting you.”

Keep it brief. Most people are time deprived and don’t enjoy reading long and laborious emails. Stick to the topic at hand. If you have a lot of information to discuss, you’ll save time by calling the person instead. For informal communication, it’s more efficient to use the subject line only. “Free for lunch tomorrow?” Then add (EOM) to the end of the subject line — short for “end of message.”

Include bullet points. Whenever you have a list of specific questions, try using bullet points. This will make your email easier to read and easier for the recipient to respond.

Praise the person. When emailing someone you don’t know well or a VIP, it’s helpful to include where you met, who referred you, or how you know that person. For example, when I get an email that reads, “Dear Jacqueline, I enjoyed reading your book, Poised for Success. Please send me more information about your seminars.” I am more apt to respond quicker than if a person writes, “Hi, please send me more information about your seminars.”

Simmer down. It’s important to be aware of how you come across in an email. As the saying goes, “If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.” In other words, think twice before sending a harsh message. If you’re angry, upset or frustrated, take time to cool down. Remember, messages may be copied, forwarded or printed so don’t send anything you might later regret.

Double check for typos. Before you click the “send” button, proofread your email. Keep an eye out for errors in grammar, spelling and punctuation. For a more important email, read it aloud to be sure it conveys exactly what you want to say. A poorly composed email can make you appear unprofessional, careless or uneducated.

Guard email addresses. If you must send an email to a large group of people, be sure to respect the privacy of the recipients. If the recipients aren’t acquainted, use the “BCC” option — blind carbon copy. That way, the only email to appear will be that of the sender.

Don’t abuse the “reply all” feature. While the “reply all” feature can be useful, it can also frustrate and anger those who don’t need to receive the reply. Reply only to those who need a response.

Ask permission before sending large attachments. Many people loathe having their email bogged down with lots of photos and huge attachments. Get permission from the recipient before sending large files or use a file sharing service such as Dropbox.com.

Give the recipient time to respond. Some people don’t check their email multiple times a day. If you need a quick response, pick up the phone and call or use keywords such as, “PLEASE READ THIS” or “URGENT,” in the subject line to help the recipient identify important messages easily.

Above all, mind your manners. The most important things are those we learned when we were children. When you ask for something, say ‘please.’ When someone gives you something or does something special for you, say ‘thank you.’ Your online reputation is a part of your personal brand. That’s why The Golden Rule never goes out of style: treat others the way you would like to be treated.

10 Technology trends that will dominate 2014 :

A strategic technology may be an existing technology that has matured and has become suitable for a wider range of uses. It may also be an emerging technology that offers an opportunity for strategic business advantage for early adopters or with potential for significant market disruption in the next five years. These technologies can impact an organisation's long-term plans, programs and initiatives.
The top 10 strategic technology trends for Indian companies in 2014 include:

1. Business Intelligence (BI) and Analytics.

The BI, analytics and performance management segment is the hottest software market in India, fueled by IT prioritization and expanding business buying centers. A competitive business environment and economic conditions are also forcing enterprises in India to focus on using fact based decision-making tools to rationalize costs and time for businesses. Enterprises in India will continue to use BI to be transformative in their approach.

2. Mobility Solutions.

Mobility in enterprise has created a huge opportunity for IT leaders to reduce costs, increase productivity and enable smooth business transactions. Swift growth in the prevalence of mobile devices, a decline in their price, and falling data plan costs have the potential to completely transform some business models. Organizations in India are beginning to leverage more personal interactions with greater reach and are also looking to evaluate mobile platforms as a delivery mechanism to provide an integrated view of multiple proprietary and publicly available datasets to help drive better real-time decisions.

3. Cloud Computing.

Although still in its infancy in India and other emerging markets, cloud adoption is increasing. Led by infrastructure-as-a-service engagements in the data center, disaster recovery and storage areas, there is a broad range of providers that target large organizations as well as SMBs. This fast growing adoption by a diverse range of organizations has catalyzed providers to invest in high quality data centers and innovative cloud infrastructures, as well as a portfolio of cloud-related offerings such as security, communications and managed services.

4. Social Media and Computing.

Social media in India has seen exponential growth in the recent past with enterprises using it for customer support and customers using it to offer opinions. A growing number of enterprises used social media to connect with their customers and for marketing campaigns in 2013 and social media is playing a pivotal role in Indian politics with the government and political parties increasingly using it to connect with citizens. Much of this growth can be attributed to increasing Internet pe*******on - which reached 198 million users (including mobile) as of June 2013 - making India one of the three most connected countries in the world.

5. Machine to Machine (M2M).

The M2M market in India is in a nascent stage but growing rapidly. Indian enterprises driven by demands to improve agility and productivity are evaluating the use of M2M-enabled solutions. Among the early adopters are verticals like utilities, automotive, financial services and transport, with other like healthcare and manufacturing following closely. The success of these projects is expected to result in broad-based deployments of M2M as an integral component of workflow automation.

6. Hosted Virtual Desktop (HVD).

In India, server-based computing, which is also referred as "hosted shared desktop" or "terminal services," is seeing more adoption. More than 80 percent of desktop virtualization implementations are based on HVD. Organizations are only looking at desktop virtualization from the point of cost requirement, and they overlook other benefits such as full data backup, bring-your-own-device (BYOD) support, extended hardware life cycles, security, compliance and anytime-anywhere access.

7. Personal Cloud.

Adoption of cloud computing in India is currently limited to the private cloud. Organizations are focused on protecting their applications located in enterprise app stores, as well as the content on employees' personal devices used at work. Tablets are becoming the first-choice user device and this form factor's explosion is creating device ubiquity. Users are creating their own personal digital ecosystems with their own sets of apps, games and media. Content is starting to shift to the cloud but, in the future, the cloud will become the primary storage for personal content, and local versions of the content will exist only as staged or cached elements.

8. The Internet of Things (IoT).

In its early phase of development, enterprises are experimenting with the IoT across a range of sectors, applications, business models and technologies in an attempt to unlock its value. The IoT delivers tangible value to enterprises through the ability to better utilize remote assets and creates business cases in three key areas - operational technology (OT), digital supply chain and customer interaction.

9. Collaboration Technologies.

Collaboration technologies (otherwise known as workflow management or team collaboration) consist broadly of - real-time electronic meetings, content delivery, desktop and application sharing, text chat, group document markup with electronic whiteboarding, security and remote control. More advanced features include integrated voice over IP, file sharing, videoconferencing, content archiving, media streaming, feedback and polling. Real-time collaboration technologies not included in the Web conferencing category include instant messaging and stand-alone audio conferencing.

10. 3D Printing.

In India interest levels in 3D printing are slowly picking up and this is reflected in the increased presence of providers in the 3D printing space. Because of the country's large population base, high volumes and low cost requirements, 3D printing is expected to take off rapidly and revolutionize industries as diverse as aerospace, consumer goods, healthcare, retail, manufacturing and the military. 3D printing has the potential to radically transform design, manufacturing and the supply chain model in India.

World Wide Web turns 25 years old

SAN FRANCISCO: Twenty-five years ago, the World Wide Web was just an idea in a technical paper from an obscure, young computer scientist at a European physics lab.

That idea from Tim Berners-Lee at the CERN lab in Switzerland, outlining a way to easily access files on linked computers, paved the way for a global phenomenon that has touched the lives of billions of people.

He presented the paper on March 12, 1989, which history has marked as the birthday of the Web.

But the idea was so bold, it almost didn't happen. "There was a tremendous amount of hubris in the project at the beginning," said Marc Weber, creator and curator of the Internet history program at the Computer History Museum in Silicon Valley.

"Tim Berners-Lee proposed it out of the blue, unrequested." At first, said Weber, the CERN colleagues "completely ignored the proposal."

The US military began studying the idea of connected computer networks in the 1950s, and in 1969 launched Arpanet, the forerunner to the Internet. But the World Wide Web was just one of several ideas to connect the public.

Berners-Lee convinced CERN to adopt his system, demonstrating its usefulness by compiling a lab phone book into an online index.

A key aspect of the design put forward by Berners-Lee was that it worked across various computer operating systems. And it offered the ability to click on links to access files hosted on computers located elsewhere.

The Web was not a winner out of the gate. There were rival online services such as US-based CompuServe and France's Minitel but they involved fees, while Berners-Lee's system was free.

"It started as a real underdog; no one would have predicted the system would have succeeded," Weber said.

The Gopher system owned by the University of Minnesota was beating the Web in the early 1990s.

Weber credited former US vice president Al Gore with helping the Web topple Gopher by getting government agencies in Washington to use the system.

The launch of the Whitehouse.gov website was seen as a huge stamp of approval for the Web.

In 1993, the Web system was released free into the public, while those behind Gopher started charging, according to Weber.

"Most people don't realize that both the Web and the Internet had competitors," Weber said.

"Had they lost the battles, we would still be going online, but it could certainly be different, a lot more top-down control like the walled garden at Facebook."

Web competitors were online environments controlled by operators. Under the Berners-Lee model, people were free to publish what they wished on Internet-linked computers.

Internet titans such as Google and Yahoo were built on helping people find pages of interest as the amount of information being hosted on servers exploded.

"At its birth, many of us were guilty of a lack of imagination and just didn't see what the Web would do to the future," Gartner analyst Michael McGuire told AFP.

"The personal computer changed the way we work, but is was the Web that disrupted and changed a lot of industries."

The ability to freely access files on the Web has shaken traditional business models in music, film, news and more.

"The Internet pushes power to the edges," said Jim Dempsey, vice president for public policy at the US-based Center for Democracy & Technology.

"Anybody can be a listener and anybody can be a publisher on the same network; there has never been anything like it."

A powerful underlying tenet of the Web is that it is egalitarian and open, but those principles are under threat, according to Dempsey.

It remains to be seen whether the Web is hobbled with regulations and fragmented by governments walling off portions in countries.

"You will never stop the teenage kid from watching little snippets of cute cats," Dempsey said.

"The trouble is you could limit the ability of people to criticize the government or make a tiered Internet in which it is harder for innovators, critics, or human rights activists to reach a global audience."

Threats to a Web based on equality concern its creators, according to Weber.

While the Web unified the Internet decades ago, there is nothing "written in stone" saying it can't fragment anew, the historian reasoned.

In the US, major Internet service providers have won the right to give some online traffic preferential treatment, and governments have shown willingness to invade online privacy or restrain Web freedom.

A big battle for the shape of the Web could be the effect of billions more people getting online with smartphones in parts of developing parts of the world.

"The Web is really only half built; it is not worldwide yet," Weber said.
