  5. Informal Netiquette Informal netiquette is more for the use of social sites, friends and close family members • Friendly/Slang/Acronyms/Fowl language • Comedy purposes, Emojis, pictures, etc. • Things can be misconstrued, but usually everyone on same page • Can include “flaming” • Very personal • Disregards the profession of any user • Way to reach family emotionally • Usually disregards who can be watching you (potential employer) • Can cause many issues

  6. Networking Sites • Five main ways people use the internet for networking purposes… • Emerging? Google + (new one): share videos, pictures, updates and add members. (Is it meant for professional use or personal use? Still up for debate)

  7. Emails and Linked in Do’s Don’ts • Must include subject line (name, section, brief reason for writing) • A greeting, body and closing • Include a signature • Be direct, detailed and professional • Have a professional profile picture • Do NoTWrItE in CrAzYWaYs • Do not use written $l@ng, curse words, or acronyms • Do not start talking about personal affairs to anyone who is a professional contact • DO NOT USE CAPS; IMPLIES YELLING

  8. Facebook and Twitter Do’s Don’ts • LOL, WYD, WYA (not capitalized) are all acceptable acronyms • Emoji’s are preferred in many situations • Be brief (twitter only allows 140 characters, choose wisely) • TYPE IN CAPS (also implies yelling here, too) • Start “wars”. Although, many find abusing, this is a form of cyber bullying! • Assume pplknowat u r tlking bout’ ( this can be overwhelming because some people are still new to the cyber text lingo)

  9. Examples of Improper Netiquette

  10. Why am I telling you this?Examples of real life stories Twitter • Facebook FACEBOOK Derek Medina, 31, posted a picture of Jennifer Alfonso's blood-stained body -- collapsed and contorted on the kitchen floor -- to his Facebook feed with a note, according to authorities. "Im going to prison or death sentence for killing my wife love you guys miss you guys takecare Facebook people you will see me in the news," he purportedly wrote. Instagram

  11. Acronyms?Why are these included in netiquette?

  12. You Must know your audience? • The way people type and the impersonal or professional ways of writing can throw another person off guard or lose them completely in a conversation. • There are many cases where people misinterpret what is being said to them due to the different kinds of acronyms used for words.

  13. Acronym Conflicts? • Depending on the setting or who you are talking to, acronyms can cause a misunderstanding • 1) “what did she have” “Anestesia, AKA, Oxytocin” • 2) MIB • 3) “BBL tweeps, heading BTW” • 4) Complains of JT pain • 5) “LOL mom ok whatever” • My favorite: • ACL can mean “access control list” to Professor Nichols in class, but can mean “Anterior Cruciate Ligament” to me after an Anatomy class. • See the confusion? How do we handle this language barrier? • By learning our audience

  14. Many I See • -LOL: laughing out loud, lots of love • -TLC: Singing group, tender loving care, teaching/learning center • -MVP: Most Valuable Player, Mitral Valve Prolapse, multimedia video processor • -NPO: Nothing by mouth, Non-Profit Organization, • -WTF: What the freak, Why the face, where’s the fire, • -STBY: Sucks to be you, sorry to bother you, standby • -XO: genetic code for Turner’s Syndrome, Hugs and Kisses, Executive office • -PPD: Philadelphia Police Department, Postpartum depression, Program for persons with disabilities, PPD tests.
