We lead two lives: our real (aka, "offline life") and our online life. They may even merge as we upload photos of ourselves from our real life onto our online profiles, get tagged, meet on dating sites, and carry on professional relationships with names we found on the internet.
We join Facebook groups about sriracha sauce or microloans, read intimate details from celebrities in 140 characters or less, and network while seated at our computers. That means we can forget social niceties, right?
If you've ever cringed reading Facebook wall posts or caught your breath seeing an unflattering picture a friend generously posted of you, you'll relate to the comical instructional video created by YourTango.com . Its 350,000 views on youtube hits home for many of us keeping tabs on our friends via the social network. Since social networking has long passed its tipping point into mainstream society, the video instructs on the Do and Do Nots of Facebook.
Online etiquette has long joined the list of topics addressed by Emily Post, Miss Manners, and other etiquette advisors. Career counselors emphasize the difference between landing a job and falling into the Deleted box is a politely-worded email. Social mores and online etiquette share a reciprocal relationship, with repercussions spilling into the other domain. Technology is giving us ever shorter cuts through communication, but that doesn't excuse us from minding our p's and q's lest we bungle on our "computing machines."
