Digital etiquette or netiquette as it is sometimes called,
is a basic set of rules you should follow in order to make the internet better
for others, and better for yourself. It's just as important to treat people
with courtesy and respect online as it is in real life. People sometimes forget
that interacting with people online can have same effect as face to face
conversations. When posting comments about either yourself or others, it’s
important to clearly think about what you’re writing. Your online interactions
might have unaware consequences. Cyber-bullying is an issue that comes up with
digital etiquette. Writing hurtful things about someone online can be just as
hurtful maybe even more so than in real life. A basic rule to follow whit
online interactions is to treat others how you would want to be treated. The
internet can be a powerful tool when it comes to circulating opinion or
information. Because it can be spread very quickly and is easy to access, the
impact it can make can increase the dramatic. Some people are pushing for using
their real names as user id to place more responsibility on people when they
leave these comments.
