NETIQUETTES
Etiquettes are the rules that are expected to be followed while meeting others or communicating
with others. In Online communication, you may not be face to face with the person. There may be a
situation when the person may misunderstand your remark. In order to avoid misunderstanding,
a set of rules have been designed which are expected to be followed during Online conversation.
This set of rules is known as Netiquettes. It basically stands for Network Etiquettes.
Netiquette, or "internet etiquette", is a set of guidelines for polite and considerate behaviour when
using online technology.
Follow some common Netiquettes while you are using email or social networking sites:
The subject of the email must be in relation to the matter of the email.
Signatures in an email should be small and simple.
Avoid sending repeated emails just for publicity of the product or service.
Avoid typing in capital letters as typing in capitals is taken as shouting at the person.
While writing an email, the person(s) whom you want should answer must be marked in the
'To' field. The persons marked in the 'Cc' field may or may not respond to the mail.
Avoid using the "Reply to All" option when not necessary. This will send your reply to
everyone marked in the email.
Try to overlook the minor typing mistakes done by the sender.
Post an appropriate message to social networking sites.
