I was impressed by the readings that we were given from the "online journalism" page. The core rules of 'netiquette' seemed rather obvious, and I would say that it's even necessary to extinguish flame wars.
Too true is the statement that nobody knows we're a dog on the internet. We can create such a fancied and unrealistic version of ourselves that it's truly impossible to completely trust the online personas of everybody. We must proceed with caution when it comes to online communication, social networking, and the like.
The "How NOT to Talk" article brought me many laughs. How true it is that all of these fallacies are used in debates, online or not. These phrases invoked several classic debates that I've witnessed in my lifetime, be it in high school or on NBC with two presidential candidates.
The e-mail etiquette was straightforward to me as well, though it served as a good refresher. Sometimes we can slip from these small but oh-so-important rules.
