Mother May I?

I received an email today with this great "mother may I" line in the signature...

this email is: [ ] bloggable [x] ask first [ ] private

By checking the appropriate box, the emailer can signal to the blogger recipient whether he/she is sharing information that is private, public or in between. It's a simple marker that gives bloggers the ok to break news. I wish we could use this same tactic with journalists!

I love this tool and I am adding it to my signature. Hopefully other bloggers will do the same.
