One Pretty Darn Superior Website
You do the math. Our partner relationship with Paragon Development Systems (PDS) led GS to be part of the equation in producing major website enhancements for pdspc.com. In a collaborative effort between GS’s strategy, copy writing, user experience architect, web design, and front-end development teams and PDS’s tech team, Sr. Web developer, and Catalog Specialist, GS helped make that plus sign a positive for both PDS and its website users.
There’s an official social media definition of eavesdropping, and it is perfectly acceptable – even encouraged – in the context of tweeting:

The dictionary definition of eavesdropping refers to the audible kind. But I am going to address the etiquette of eavesdropping* as it relates to social media in terms of scanning other people’s screens when in close proximity, like at a concert, on a bus or train, or at a ball game.
No matter what generation pool we swim in, I like to think we’ve all been taught that eavesdropping isn’t polite. Recently, someone at GS confessed to overseeing a stranger’s tweet at a concert – and felt really guilty about it (even though getting busted resulted in a connection with a client that led to work for GS … weird, but true).
You are cordially invited to read my following commentary regarding modern-day electronic communication and its effect on etiquette of days gone by …
I thought it was just me: annoyed at those who are supposedly tuned in to a conversation with their “Uh, huhs” and “Oh, yeahs” while repeatedly checking their cell for text messages using peripheral vision … and sometimes even going so far as to text a response.
I love english grammar. I admit it. Which is a good thing cuz I use it alot for my job. GS offers writing, editing and proofing to their clients and thats most of what I do here. Job security for myself given the amount of projects and content that come thru our doors. But I guess when you really think about it its not just my job. Its everyones’ job. As part of our daily responsiblties we all send written electronic communication and cuz were all professionals its expected that also is reflected in our emails both to clients and interoffice.
