5.0 out of 5 starsIf this book is so common sense, then why are people boars online? Much needed reference for today's age
By Joel Avrunin TOP 500 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on May 3, 2013
Format: Paperback Vine Customer Review of Free Product ( What's this? )
I was excited and eager to read a book on online etiquette, especially one that is from the Emily Post Institute. The irony, of course, is that most people today who need this information the most will be unfamiliar with Emily Post and the original guide to proper Etiquette from 1922. Yet for years people have known and relied upon her rules in many aspects of social life in the real world, so the Emily Post branding on a guide to online etiquette is certainly valuable and instructive to the quality of material inside.

As the foreword states, etiquette online is surprisingly not as revolutionary or different from etiquette in the real world. Emily Post's rules were adapted when landline telephones started invading all aspects of life, and certainly as our communication modality shifts, the rules can be adapted as well. Many people think that once their ringer is silenced on their phone, they are being polite in the movie theater. These people never consider that the loud buzzing of vibrate or the glow of their screen as they spend the entire movie texting can be equally annoying and distracting. How about the "I just landed!" phone call from your phone while everyone struggles to collect their carry-on from the airplane? Keep those calls brief, confine them to a text. Will everyone follow this? Of course not, but would our society be a more civilized place if people did? That is the point of Emily Post - rules that make life with each other easier.

Beyond the basic interaction with mobile devices, the book covers social networks like Facebook and Twitter. Should you accept a friend invite from a long lost girlfrend whose wedding invitation you ignored years ago (yes, they discuss this case)? Should you keep family and friends on the same social network?Read more ›

2.0 out of 5 starsNot for experienced users of social media or digital tech
By Gen of North Coast Gardening TOP 500 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on May 12, 2013
Format: Paperback Vine Customer Review of Free Product ( What's this? )
As a longtime fan of Miss Manners, I was excited to get to check out the style of Emily Post and her family members. I love the biting wit and dry humor of Miss Manners, and expected that anyone writing about etiquette would naturally want to find ways of making the topic fun and interesting through the writing style. Also, since I live a great deal of my life digitally, I figured this book would help me behave more professionally and politely to those with whom I interact.

Unfortunately, most of this book comes off as a primer for people who have never used Facebook, Twitter, email, or cell phones. I was really expecting some of the deeper etiquette tips that you wouldn't naturally think of. Instead, the authors wasted so much time talking about the basics of what a Facebook friend is, or what liking something on Facebook entails, and other exceptionally mundane basics, that they never got around to actually sharing anything useful. I mean, maybe tips such as "friend people you have some reasonable connection to" and "nothing embarrassing, inappropriate, revealing, or even unflattering should be tagged publicly" would be helpful to a brand-new Facebook user, but anyone who's used these types of digital service for more than a year would've already figured this stuff out.

It seems to me that the audience of this book is probably 50 or older, uncomfortable with digital technology, and pretty unfamiliar with how to actually use any of these services. Taking the Facebook section as an example again, there are 20 pages of information in that section.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsA Good Book on Interacting With Others On Social Media
By scesq VINE VOICE on May 15, 2013
Format: Paperback Vine Customer Review of Free Product ( What's this? )
While I am reasonably comfortable using social networking sites, I am not up on all the etiquette involved. This is a simple way to browse and find topics of interest. The book has large type and big captions so it is perfect for browsing but it does have a good table of contents at the beginning as well.

There are 14 chapters in the book including chapters on specific social media tools like Facebook and Twitter as well as chapters on more general topics like dating and gaming. There is also a chapter on safety, though the issue of safety, whether protecting ones privacy, protecting ones computer from a virus or protecting oneself if you use social media to meet someone, seems to be part of all the chapters.

The general themes are how to remain safe while using social media, how not to accidently offend someone using social media and how to get the most out of social media. The book does not go into detail on how to use social media but gives a brief description and then focuses on the related interaction with others.

The chapter of Facebook, for example, has three paragraphs on "Your Profile." It does not go into detail on how to create a profile but rather mentions how you should be comfortable putting things in your profile you want to share with others, it says what you put down should be truthful because falsehoods are easily discovered and it looks at the line between sharing and narcissism. There are also two paragraphs on avoiding the "Facebook Scoop" which talks about not sharing friends' news before they want to share it with others and how to protect yourself from friends doing the same to you.Read more ›
