Скачать или смотреть Netiquette: Prompt Reply

It may not seem like a big deal, but the way you interact with someone else online matters. Think about if you were talking to someone in a face to face conversation, it would be rude to walk away in the middle of the discussion, right? The same basic rules of etiquette apply online, but since you are usually not face to face when interacting online, these rules need to be defined for specific interactions while on the internet. We call these rules "netiquette".

This video is a part of a video mini-series that explores what examples or poor netiquette would look like if they were used in face to face situations.

This video is focused on replying to someone promptly. You may know the popular term "ghosting" which is when someone stops responding to another person's messages. When this happens, it is like they've disappeared, or become a ghost. When online, it may not be possible to reply to someone the instant that their message arrives, but it is courteous to reply to them as quickly as you can so that you don't leave them feeling like they've been "ghosted"
