How often have you read something that you thought meant one thing, when it really meant something quite different? Meaning can also get lost in translation when auto-correct changes your text or sloppy typing leaves out key words. It’s also easy to misread the context of someone’s words when you can’t see their facial expressions or body language. There’s a certain anonymous freedom, although nothing is really anonymous on the Internet. It’s easier to shoot back a response to a negative comment because you’re looking at text on a screen rather than looking at someone in the eyes. There’s a human behind the words you’re reading. What frequently gets people into trouble when communicating online is that they easily forget they are communicating with real people.
Make sure you understand this list of the core online etiquette rules that were excerpted and adapted from Virginia Shea’s book, The Core Rules of Netiquette. Following netiquette guidelines can help you maintain a positive online presence. As more people spend time online and technology advances, it’s important to be aware of how we are interacting online. While social etiquette has evolved over time and differs based on culture, digital etiquette is fairly new. The word netiquette was derived by combining “net” and “etiquette.” Netiquette is the correct way of conducting yourself while communicating online.
