Good etiquette in the brave new digital world isn't rocket science. It all comes down to
common sense, consideration and communications, etiquette expert Daniel Post Senning told BusinessNewsDaily.
"Ninety-nine percent of
rude behavior can be avoided by thinking before you act," Senning said. "The fundamental principles of etiquette are honesty, respect and consideration."
He should know - etiquette runs in his family. Senning is the great-great grandson of Emily Post, the doyenne of all that mattered in manners in the first half of the 20th century. He manages Web development and online content at The Emily Post Institute in Vermont, including the company's Facebook and Twitter accounts.
Next month, the 18th edition of
Emily Post's Etiquette, the definitive arbiter of good behavior online and off, will be published (William Morrow, 2011). Senning is a co-author, charged with updating his great-great grandmother's venerable volume for the age of digital communications, mobile devices and social networking.
The particulars of what constitutes good etiquette vary with time and location, but the underlying principles are immutable, Senning said.
