What is Netiquette

As online communication has become part of our life, netiquette, etiquette in cyber space, has increased its importance. Netiquette includes refraining from offensive comments, avoiding all capital letters because it looks like shouting, not forwarding e-mail messages without the original sender’s permission, and not forwarding jokes or any other items that may crowd the recipient’s inbox.

Online etiquette.

The etiquette, or social rules, associated with communicating online. Netiquette may vary across virtual environments.

These are etiquette specific to online communication ( West, 2010 ).

Refers to the rules or guidelines that users should follow when communicating with others over the Internet. The rules or etiquette of use ensure that users of technology know of and can follow rules to ensure that they do not offend other users and that what they communicate to others is understandable. These points are important when we consider that e-mail, bulletin boards and blogs often only reveal the text which the user has posted. This may lead to some ambiguity or miscommunication between users. To overcome some of this ambiguity, many users are taking advantage of emotion icons (emoticons) and acronyms to portray their feelings, emotions and facial expressions. For example, emoticons include:-) “happy,”:-/ “sceptical,”:-C “bummed,”:-O “oh,”:-& “tongue tied,”:-[ “not amused,” O:-) “angelic.” Whilst some common acronyms are BTW “by the way,” LOL “laughing out load,” ROTFL “rolling on the floor laughing,” TTFN “ta-ta for now,” IMHO “in my humble opinion,” IYKWIMAITYD “if you know what I mean and I think you do,” JK “just kidding,” NP “no problem,” WBS “write back soon,” and XMEQK “kiss me quick.” These emoticons and acronyms can also be used in text messages between mobile phone users.
