The internet has its own culture, Netiquette. The common conventions of online communication between users are the rules of netiquette. They are defined by sharing information, the data shared, who it is shared with, and how it is shared. Internet users are human beings, so Netiquette is human, it takes into account the context of how information is shared. This applies the human condition to the content of the data.

Internet etiquette, is centered around data and its use. The types of data are: text, audio, graphic, and video. Each website supports these types of data to some degree.

Proper netiquette is positive. Visit positive websites and choose online friends who share positive attitudes for proper netiquette. Live the good life online with positive and peaceful effective communication. Negative communication without a positive message is bad netiquette.

The dictionary definition of netiquette is used to define the word in real terms rather than electronic or cyber terms because it is a cyber word with real implications. Real terms are words that have meanings based in reality that can be used to define a word that was created for the internet. Cyber-words have meaning based in internet applications.

Netiquette: 1. Derrived from the words network and etiquette, it is the social code of network communication. 2. The social and moral code of the internet based on the human condition and Golden Rule of Netiquette. 3. A non-violent philosophy of effective internet communication that utilizes common conventions and norms as a guide for rules and standards.

Netiquette, a cyber-word, is the combination of the words network and etiquette. It describes the culture of the internet. Specifically, it's the culture of how we communicate digitally through networks.

The internet is the most popular digital network in the world. Therefore, netiquette is centered around internet use because it's the culture of digital networks and the internet is the most popular in the world.

Netiquette is the social code of the internet given the definitions of the words network and etiquette. The internet is a network and etiquette is a social code. A network is a collection of computers that can communicate digitally. Networks are computers that can share signals. Etiquette is a social code of behavior according to contemporary and conventional standards. Therefore, netiquette is the social code of the internet because the internet is a network and etiquette is a social code.

This includes mobile phones and other handheld devices. Technically, the definition of netiquette could include network specific communication based purely in reality. Practically, it means internet etiquette.

Each website has its own etiquette because website is designed differently. Designers plan user interactions. Netiquette rules are the common conventions of the planned interactions. These ommon practices vary greatly by domain.

The Golden Rule of Netiquette is to: do unto others on the internet as you would have done to you.

Each common practice of network communication is a rule. It takes two people to create a rule of netiquette because it takes two people to create a society by the definition of the word society. This is where the concept of marriage comes from and why it is between a man and a woman. It takes a man and a woman to create a child and it takes a witness to create a marriage. Men and women create children and alliances create rules.

The ten core rules of netiquette should be followed in most circumstances, but everything is situational. Freedom is part of the netiquette philosophy because the internet was created to preserve it. Net Neutrality is a policy that protects an individuals freedom to view content without preference to a given provider.

Please, mind your digital manners and practice good netiquette. The content you access is up to you as a matter of principle, even if the content itself is bad netiquette.

Cyber words are newly created words with internet related meanings. Many are portmanteaus and contractions. Others are traditional words spelled in new ways.

A portmanteau is the combination of two words blended into one. A contraction is the combination of words that would otherwise appear next to each other in a sentence. A contraction is a portmanteau by definition, but a portmanteau is not always a contraction.

Cyber words are created by the use of the internet. The meanings of the words did not exist prior to the creation and use of the internet. Cyber and virtual, are commonly used on the front end of traditional words and phrases to mean internet.

For example, cyber safety is now spelled as one word in some cases. This is a contraction because word is two separate words that, when put together in a sentence have a different meaning. Cybersafety is internet safety.

Everyone could use a little netiquette!
