Internetiquette

That was a word Your Humble Blogger just made up. But it describes something completely important: what are the rules for being a respectable person on the Internet? Not just what is considered cool, but what is considered crass?

NPR has started a new segment where self-appointed experts begin to sift through the do's and don'ts of the Internet. The burning question in this story: Should you friend your boss on Facebook?

•Do we all pretty much agree what is appropriate and inappropriate online, or is there still a lot of disagreement?

•Has a friend or family member done something online that you thought wasn't right, polite, or smart?

•Have you ever had to make a tough call over who gets friend status on Facebook and who doesn't? Who was it?

•What would you do if your boss wanted to friend you on Facebook? What if one of your teachers wanted to friend you?
