Netiquette
What Is Netiquette?
"Netiquette, or net etiquette, refers to etiquette on the Internet. Good netiquette involves respecting others' privacy and not doing anything online that will annoy or frustrate other people. Three areas where good netiquette is highly stressed are e-mail, online chat, and newsgroups. For example, people that spam other users with unwanted e-mails or flood them with messages have very bad netiquette. You don't want to be one of those people. If you're new to a newsgroup or online chat room, it may help to observe how people communicate with each other before jumping in" (Christensson, P. 2006).
Social Networking is sites such as Facebookâ„¢ and MySpaceâ„¢ that have become a hit with students and adults. Facebookâ„¢ and MySpaceâ„¢ allow students and adults to connect and share information with one another. These sites allow operators to connect anywhere that they have Internet connection including using Smartphones. All operators need to be cautious of the information that is placed on these sites to keep themselves safe as well as friends (Riddle, M. 2016).
