The Web Commandments?

The Web Commandments?

Thou shalt not drunk-text, Leave thy emojis out work-related emails.
Thine chain emails are getting to be a bit…..

As we move forward into the digital age, where texts, facebook messages
emojis and twitter are becoming more and more a frequent way to communicate,
perhaps it’s time to lay down a few ground rules.
Okay, maybe not RULES, but rather, a light brush on smartphone etiquette.

The “rules” are part of an Oxford study and are more like suggestions on how
to avoid becoming the ever-tiresome and duly loathed “THAT PERSON” on social media.

Among them:
– Don’t wish close friends a happy birthday on Facebook.  Call or text them.
– Never use a text message to dump someone.
– Don’t look through your partner’s phone,  and
– Don’t post to social media when emotional.

Sounds reasonable.
– Don’t ‘reply all’ to a group message by accident (that’s happened at work a few times hasn’t it.)
– Don’t use emojis in text messages or emails that are work related, and
– Never send a text when you’re drunk.

Not included, but for the older generation, our folks who still use the internet like it’s 1997,
Enough with the FWD mails!
