The Dangers of Email, Facebook and Twitter

So, next time you are sending an email or tweet, it might be a good idea to consider that the people receiving it could misunderstand what you are trying to express, largely because they can’t see your face or your body language. What seems like clear sarcasm to you, for instance, could be taken seriously by them.

Your job or friendship, or even public reputation, could depend on it.
