Although users are often not face-to-face on the Internet, it is still important to conduct network etiquette -- often referred to as "netiquette" -- while online. Your online persona comes into contact with not only close friends, where you can be a little more casual, but also current and potential employers, your co-workers, family and strangers. It is important to maintain a certain etiquette as you come into contact with any of these people the same way you would in person. You want to appear professional and be taken seriously online.
Grammar and Language
Use proper grammar in all situations when you are online. It makes it easier for others to understand what you are saying, looks more professionals and help others take what you are writing more seriously. In addition, use proper capitalization. Do not leave all letters in lower case unless you are instant messaging a close friend or typing a to-do list to yourself. Do not use all capital letters, either. All capital letters often looks like "shouting" online, which is considered rude, and an eyesore for those who are reading it. Also, take note not to use swear words or other foul language in inappropriate settings, such as an email to a co-worker or a website where children may read it.
Personal Information
Limit the amount of personal information you put online. It isn't wise to put your full name, phone number, personal address and email address all in one place, where anyone can view it. This can cause unwanted mail, phone calls and messages. It can also make it easier for someone to steal your identity. In addition, keep personal issues, such as a disagreement you may be having with another, private. Don't write about it in an email and send it to all your friends and co-workers or write it in a Facebook status or on Twitter. It's rude and unfair to those who are involved in the matter.
