The person getting introduced has to carry a lot of the burden of the next step in an email introduction… something that I recently commented on in my blog. Email etiquette is critically important to make the introduction productive.

Isn’t it funny when people keep you on the cc line? I was on the cc line of people planning a WordCamp for a year after I introduced 2 people. You’d think after a year they’d have forgotten who I was or why I was still in the thread. I was on the back and forth about date selection, meetings, site selection, volunteers for 12 months. The WordCamp didn’t end up happening.

And is if on queue, got two intros today with the subject line “intro” and one email where I was asked to help out and “see the thread below” :)

I will admit, I think have sent my share of ‘intro’ subject line headers. I will try to refrain from doing that in the future.

The one that made me laugh is the one where you are kept on the thread after the intro is made. How come you are never kept on the thread when there is something “really” compelling being discussed, like a multi-billion dollar M&A deal!
