Etiquette
Etiquette in the Digital Age -- Lesson #1
If someone emails you, email them back, don't call them. If they call you by cell, call them back by cell. Never cross-communicate unless you know a person well. People give you contact information for a reason and often reach out in the method that works best for them at that moment.. More importantly, they will look for a reply on the same medium. It's frustrating to have someone call your work voice mail in response to an email when you're traveling and are only picking up your messages once a day. Most importantly, it's the sign of a newbie.
