5 Tips on Netiquette
- When you are writing an e-mail or a message in a chat room, Facebook, and other online venues make sure you DO NOT WRITE THEM IN ALL CAPS. It may present that you are shouting.
- Think about when you are talking to someone the tone of your voice shows your emotion. So when you send a message on Facebook, on chat rooms, or on twitter make sure to use something like a smiley face or something to represent emotion.
- When you send an e-mail make sure you keep it short and sweet and to the point!, People these days get their e-mails on their phones. Tiny screens make it hard to read small and long messages.
- To shorten messages use abbreviations.
- everything that you post, e-mail, or send on a chat room can not be taken back. Someone could copy it and spread it around or it could come back and haunt you later.
