Tema: Netiquette
Chişinău – 2020
"Netiquette" refers to Internet etiquette. This simply means the use of good manners in
online communication such as e-mail, forums, blogs, and social networking sites to name a few.
It is important to use netiquette because communication online is non-verbal.
Online etiquette is ingrained into culture, although etiquette in technology is a fairly recent
concept. The rules of etiquette that apply when communicating over the Internet or social
networks or devices are different from those applied when communicating in person or by audio
(such as telephone) or videophone. It is a social code of network communication and help.
Communicating with others via the Internet without misunderstandings in the heat of the
moment can be challenging, mainly because facial expressions and body language cannot be
interpreted in cyberspace. Therefore, several recommendations to attempt to safeguard against
these misunderstandings have been proposed.
Most often online communication consists of reading something someone else has typed.
This type of communication does not allow each person to see facial expressions, body language,
or hear intonation. Because of this, messages can often be misinterpreted. By following
netiquette, online communication becomes clearer. Especially in business and career related
online communications netiquette should be used to ensure that correct spelling, grammar, and
punctuation are put in place to project professionalism. Netiquette also includes the use of
emoticons (such as :) :( ;) and others) to explain an emotion. In e-mail, netiquette means not
flooding someone's inbox with forwarded messages or spam mail. Following netiquette will help
you to maintain and establish positive online relationships as well as develop a positive online
reputation.
