Small Business: How not to behave on the internet
This is an example of how not to behave if you are a small business on the internet. A friend of mine simply posted a question on a forum, the entirety of his question was: I’m curious if anybody knows anything about Lucas Environmental Stormwater Services, Inc.? This simple question has led to the owner threatening legal action in email and via rambling voice-mails. It is never a good idea to threaten someone unless they are blatantly in the wrong and doing something clearly illegal. Otherwise you just rile people up and turn what should have been nothing into a huge negative-publicity exercise for your company.

At our business, we have categories of folks. A favorite of ours is what we call the “email tough guy”. Frequently, in electronic media, folks will take written positions they would never take in person.
Also, a good website can eliminate a lot of questions by putting answers at peoples finger tips. With over 70% of businesses not having websites this a big problem. Join our service, www.linkytown.com, to solve this issue.
