Netiquette - using Instant Messaging


Netiquette
Description

  • Be careful when using sarcasm and humor

  • Stop giving a sarcastic response. It can encourage someone to continue talking to you rather than feeling embarrased, frustrated or ashamed.
  • It might be misinterpreted.
  • Use emoticons to express emotion.


  • Avoid using too many IM Acronyms

  • Do not use lightly coloured or unreadable fonts. It's annoying.
  • Always say "Goodbye" or "TTYL", don't just suddenly sign off your IM client.
