Internet usage brings up new etiquette questions

COLUMBIA – The Internet can be a liberating place. Sites like Facebook and MySpace allow users to connect anywhere from across the street to across the country. Second Life gives users the ability to literally reinvent themselves and the way they present themselves to others online. Blogs, chat rooms and message boards give users a way to open up and connect, often anonymously, in ways they sometimes can't offline. Governing all these countless, normally faceless interactions are the informal rules of netiquette.
