On the other side of things in the computer business I reflect often on the fact that the only times I see most of my customers is when something is broken. So getting a thank you note. Even if it's simply by e-mail or twitter it really brightens up my day.

Good post. I would even say this applies to anyone who gives you something of value. At the least, a thank you is in order.

So, here's to you for delivering the best social media, geek stuff on the web. I've learned more in 2008 by following you than anything I've done!

Thanks Dave! Your the best!

I got a raise and praise from my boss. It was great. We're lucky it's
even easier to do now with email.

Thanks for your comment.

I used to work as a cashier at a major retailer, and I learned that if a customer writes a letter about a positive employee interaction, that employee benefited a great deal - it put them in the running for raises, preference to get requested days off, etc. Curiously (at least at this particular chain), a phone call was not the same - the customer was always asked to mail in a letter for it to "count."<br><br>Ever since then, I have always made it a point to send a letter when I experience particularly good service. With Yelp and Google Local around, I also leave positive reviews wherever I can. It's great to see others doing the same.

Ever since then, I have always made it a point to send a letter when I experience particularly good service. With Yelp and Google Local around, I also leave positive reviews wherever I can. It's great to see others doing the same.
