WHAT EXACTLY IS "NETIQUETTE"?
Netiquette = Network Etiquette
Email Etiquette and Proper Technology Use

• Do you skip including a courteous greeting and closing in your emails because you believe they are not necessary?
• Do you type in caps or all lower case?
• Do you send unannounced large attachments that shut down the other side’s email?
• Do you forward emails with everyone’s email address in the To: field?
• Do you forward emails without including a friendly personal comment?
• Do you email sites asking for information they do in fact have online for your convenience simply because you don’t want to take the time to read?

These are just a few of the things that can have you being perceived as an online knucklehead.

To minimize the importance of online for commercial gain, lack of proper Email Etiquette may very well deter those who otherwise may have considered doing business with you.
