Master the basics
1. Avoid writing email or posting messages in a capital letters; it looks like you're yelling at people
2. To add humor and personality to your message use smileys or emoticons (expressions you create from your keyboard
ex: :-) happy
:-< mad
3. Keep your communication short and to the point, no one likes reading text for what seems like the rest of their life. Especially now because many people receive email via cellular phone.
4. Remember that anything and everything you write is seen by the public, you never really know who is going to read so be careful because you don't want to say something that you may later regret.
5. Avoid spamming (posting things that irrelevant to the topic) as this could lead to flaming (offending someone and starting a "fire").
6. When sending an email write a title about what the message is about so that if someone isn't interested in reading it, they can delete it.
7. To keep messages short use abbreviations
ex: By the way
Laughing out loud
8. FAQs are Frequently Asked Questions; these are handy documents to read before asking questions, always refer to them.
Netiquette is not something that is learned by second nature. Take your time to familiarize yourself with the different tips and facts before posting and responding to web media. Also keep in mind that the Internet is always changing, often times more rapidly than we do so make sure to always check up on if netiquette has changed.
