INTENDED AUDIENCE:
The twenty-five million users of online services, corporate electronic
mail systems, and the Internet. Of particular interest to new participants
in online environments such as Prodigy, CompuServe, America Online,
USENET news, and electronic mailing lists.
BOOK INFORMATION:
Cyberspace is booming. Each month, millions of people are discovering
the power of the Internet, online services, and corporate email
systems. With this power comes responsibility.
People who wouldn't dream of burping at the end of dinner post
offensive messages to international forums. Middle managers
inadvertently send romantic email messages to the company-wide email
alias. People at computer terminals forget that there are real live
people on the other end of the wire. Topics are lost in noise,
feelings are hurt, reputations are damaged, time and bandwidth are
wasted.
There's no longer an excuse. This book brings etiquette to the
bustling frontiers of cyberspace. In a series of entertaining essays,
the author establishes the do's and the don'ts of communicating
online, from the Golden Rule to the art of the flame, from the
elements of electronic style to virtual sex. Accessible to both
network wizard and clueless newbie, this is the first book to offer
the guidance that all users need to be perfectly polite online.
