Network Etiquette

Times are changing and as such so should we.

It’s 2009, new roads of communication, new inventions and even new friendships, I think it’s therefore about time we revamped rules as it pertains to people and communication. In this day and age of networking, who’s twittering or checking facebook, we are encountering many old long lost friends while at the same time making many new friends and acquaintances.  The new friends and acquaintances may not know what we are really about and therefore not understand us or our approach. Noting this, we as users of the many networks need to be more cognizant of the people we chat, twitter or im with. We need to know a little about them. Not that we need to know a person’s life story, mind you, but if we know a little, we can therefore address that person better, at least knowing what words may or may not set a person off. My goal here is to make the many readers think about who they deal with when speaking. For example, as an adult, if you kid around with adult humor, you better make sure the person you’re about to twitter with is above legal age, otherwise there could be serious ramifications. As well if you’re speaking with someone much older, it might not be advisable to talk about death too often or sex either. I guess the point I am try to make is that it’s too easy not to think, so people, just think before you type.

WEll expressed and very wise! Sometime the written word does not say what you want it to or someone takes it the wrong way because they don’t see you or hear your voice.
