We received an email from one of our more exotic contributers this week with a great tip.
“Who was it?” you ask? Our new-found friend the Cybercouth Tiger, who is constantly on the prowl for bad netiquette.
Mr. Cybercouth writes:
Allow me to introduce myself. I am a fan of the computer support staff at Productive U Podcast and thoroughly enjoy their tips on software and being more productive. I was so ecstatic to read educated but easily understood tips on computing. So I decided to write to them and offer up my advice on the basics of etiquette on the web.
After we discussed this a bit, we decided that my in-depth knowledge of netiquette and background could really help their listeners and readers scratch beyond the surface of social computer acceptability.
You might ask why I am so qualified. Well…
I come from a long lineage of butlers, a special breed that is recognized as the top in the pride of the King’s (of the jungle that is) servants.
Now, if you will allow me the honor, I will do what I can to keep you from being ambushed by your peers and assist you in developing your good manners in your e-mail and on the web.
Sincerely,
Cybercouth
See our post for “Don’t let cyber cool make you cyber crude” for his first tip.
An interesting new word – cybercouth…
It is a synonym for “netiquette”. I heard it in a podcast that I follow called ProductiveUPodcast.
They have a netiquette columnist they call “The Cybercouth Tiger”. I
think they may have invented the word since I couldn’t find it in the
usual….
