Online Etiquette
Having never blogged in my life I had no idea there was etiquette for online usage. In my online journalism class my professor has required readings that we must read every week. The readings for this week were four articles on proper internet etiquette. After reading these articles I found that the same etiquette you use every day is applied to online conversation. However, there are a few new rules that must be taken into consideration because there is no face to face contact and you must be careful how you state things.
In the social media world you can be whoever you want to be, but that does not give someone the right to act in ways they wouldn't act in public. Everyone is human and whether or not the person you're in contact with is a friend or someone you have never seen in your life they are entitled to some respect. If you are respectful to others they will be respectful to you and proper online etiquette just falls in naturally when you act in that manner.
