Although I already knew most of the etiquette concerning what to do and what not to do in cyberspace networks, it was a nice refresher course. I can think of a handful of people whom I’m connected with via social media networks that need to read this content. Free social media networks are outlets where people can post and discuss any topic they choose. Because it is a free outlet, people are free to say and talk about what ever they want, which has it’s positives and negatives. There is no written rule when it comes to using etiquette while expressing yourself in cyberspace.
I found the content in the Rules of Netiquette useful as well as the Composing Email Tips content. In the Rules of Netiquette I thought it wise to mention that words can come back to haunt you, so be careful what you say and to whom you say it to. I also agreed with the fact that people should be forgiving to others, and realize that everyone makes mistakes.
In the Composing Emails article I thought the information concerning emailing people who you aren’t acquainted with valuable. It is important to be polite, to be succinct, and to use proper punctuation and etiquette. Because of the time factor, it is always a nice gesture to be as precise and succinct as possible.
I found these readings very insightful and very useful. Sometimes I don’t take the time to think about how important it is to use proper etiquette when using cyberspace. It is important because my name is behind my words and opinions.
