Welcome to the Techiquette

Dearest Online Correspondent:

I am a twenty-seven year old Washingtonian who enjoys tackling issues dealing with online correspondence.

Over the years, friends have solicited advice from me on social etiquette, i.e. when to write a ” thank-you” or how quickly to respond to a guy who has asked them out. Antiquated responses to those questions would have been to go read Emily Post’s “Etiquette Guide.” The question is: what are modern people like us supposed to do?

We want answers  based on our dependence on technology, especially since we’re more than likely going to send the “thank-you” as an e-mail, and respond to being asked out, via a message from an on-line dating website. The Techiquette is a tool that “plugged-in” correspondents can use to get 21st century answers to their etiquette questions dealing with the Internet, e-mail, and texting.

Please e-mail your online etiquette questions to: TheTechiquette  (at)  gmail  (dot)  com. In particular, The Techiquette is interested in your opinion on online etiquette topics, including, but not limited to, online networking websites, facebook, twitter, linkedin, online invitations, and stylistic concerns.

We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,

Techiquette
