Before, a website was filled with rules written in three and four syllable words. Netiquette has three syllables. On top of that, no transition phrases. Knowledge earned traffic.
Netiquette
The Principles of Netiquette work. Pamphlet style books led up to it. Honestly, Chiles thought it would be a breakout book. Not the case. To quote a review, ‘it’s boring.’
Still, several writing tests were required to show that the work was not that great. After, classes from a Digital Marketing certificate provided real direction. Copywriting, Blogging, and Content Strategy specifically.
As a result, really just getting started. Also, chasing dreams of being in front of the camera and starting a school. Best work is yet to come. In any event, the blog feels wonderful. Currently, a book being promoted is more professional.
Get some of the old stuff if your interested. Working on doing it a lot better. Buy past titles available on Amazon.
He said it was a textbook, and it is. It's a pretty boring one. The writing is bland and sometimes repetitive. It's definitely just a print version of what's on the website, but I suppose it may be useful to some people. I don't think there are many books out there on this subject. I recommend he hires a professional writer to make it captivating and a professional editor to make it flawless (note the typo on the back cover and a lot of incomplete sentences throughout!). I see potential though. I'm sure that a more accessible (such as with a real Index), captivating version could be really well received, especially for anyone new to the technological scene or anyone looking to teach internet user ethics.
David Chiles's book contains much that I will return to as I'm such a novice to the rules of engagement for online practices. There are definitions and explanations clearly laid out that take the mystery out of abbreviations and terminology that previously went straight over my head. The book contained all that I needed to know for now in regard to Netiquette, the skills for which David Chiles champions beautifully. Clearly a very religious man - and I appreciate this fact - his faith laces much of the content of the book and I know that some readers might not appreciate this input. I did not agree with certain assertions, though I suspect that some were tongue in cheek. (I've been known to frequent coffee shops and talk to strangers!) The fundamental rule of treating others as we would wish to be treated, with respect and dignity, is one that is close to my heart and I imagine that to be the same with most people, regardless of their faith practices, or lack thereof. For me, the very heavy faith element enhanced rather than detracted from the book, and it delivered all the information I needed as well as a few nice points of interest.
