Friday Digital Roundup
The Friday Digital Roundup is a witty take on the weird world of the internet. With fun stories from around the globe, it’s the only email newsletter you’ll actually read and enjoy!
We do love writing it, but clearly not as much as people like receiving it - just look at the response we got when a technical hitch meant it wasn’t sent out on time!

Coffee and the FDR is how I start my Friday.
Do not engage until I have devoured both

When it comes to the end of the week, there is no better way to start a Friday than with a run around the internet with Todd and Jo in the FDR. Just don't let them know I do it from the loo!

“I Didn’t Say She Stole the Money”… (The Danger of the Written Word)
The online world is strange, and in many respects very dangerous. If you’ve ever got yourself into an argument online or failed to make your point on social media then this week’s blog is for you.
I wanted to get my point across as best I could so I thought I’d put it on video as the written word can be taken in so many different ways – including the opposite way from what was intended.
So this week you need to watch me, so you can hear the words, and see me talking about the topic, so you don’t get the wrong end of the stick.
“I Didn’t Say She Stole the Money”… (The Danger of the Written Word)
Let me know what you think in the comments.
Have you ever got the wrong end of the stick online? What’s your view on using more video to come across as authentic?

Also, use emojis. Verbal communication consists only 8% of the message you’re trying to convey. Without being able to present your emotions and body language you’ve got a higher chance to get misconstrued <– a friendly face suggesting that my intentions are pure.

Totally agree! Especially if you use Cowboy ones!

Yeeeehaa!!! Or a rocket! Which reminds me – I need to change a Gravatar!

Excellent way to do your blog and a very interesting point made. Thanks,
Todd at 15:02pm on February 8th 2017
Thanks. I’ll be doing more of these!

A very true comment…… I learnt this many years ago with a Robinsons squash advert on the TV. They used the same script, actors, scene but said the script in a different tone of voice and completely changed the advert. There was 2 or 3 examples of the same advert. Very Clever.
Todd at 15:02pm on February 8th 2017
Wow! Blast from the past. Great ads and so very true!

Really good points. It’s so easy to be misinterpreted. I almost always re-read what I’ve just written, to make sure it’s as unambiguous as possible (unless I’m being deliberately ambiguous, for a benevolently mischievous purpose.) And I frequently use emojis. As Kon pointed out, they can help clarify intention. And I’m sorry Todd, they are almost always and ❤, not , although for some reason is amongst my most used emojis. ❤❤❤
