It’s the Little Things
Ever noticed how when you send an email, you almost always sign off something like “best regards, Lorenz”?
Ever noticed how when you send a message or especially a comment on a social network you don’t? Is it because our SN identities are so closely linked to our message that it becomes redundant to sign off? Or are SN communications more conversational in nature, and hence don’t warrant a sign off any more than we need to say “over and out” after each sentence when we’re chatting on the phone?
