Netiquette Rules


Netiquette 

Netiquette are the  rules of  etiquette that  apply when we are communicating over computer networks. It travelled from social life into business life over a slow period of some five thousand years. But in the past fifteen years, those good manners and procedures have come under pressures because of the Internet.

New Rules of Netiquette that one should follow

1. No spamming:  Remember that spam is unwanted electronic messages or sending the same electronic message over and over.  
2. Don’t plagiarize:  Someone spent a long time coming up with their content.  When you borrow something from someone, give them the credit.  Site their name or their site.  Give the site when you have gotten your information.
3. Use proper quotes and always use the whole quote: Don’t take quotes out of context and don’t be selective about which part of the quote you want to use.
4. Don’t gossip and keep personal information personal: Don’t tell stories that you don’t know for a fact to be true.  And often, just because it’s true, doesn’t mean that it needs to be repeated.
5. Don’t steal those photographs off the web even if they are a perfect fit for what you need: Chances are they are copyrighted and someone spent a long time putting that together. Get permission and give credit where credit is due.
6. Watch your language: Never use slang's while communicating .
7. Be patient with internet newbies:  Know that they are just learning like you did once upon a time.

Some Rules of Social Media Netiquette

1. Give and you shall receive : Help someone out and they will remember when you come to them at a later date asking for a favor.
2. Be polite while posting :  It really is one of the most effective methods of communicating with others on social media. One should say "please" and "thank you" and people will remember you.
3. Contribute something that should be a help for someone reading : Instead, take the time to really offer some value and make yourself useful to others. They will come back for more.
4. Listen more than you speak : You should listen twice as much as you speak. We listen to others and network with them.
5. Be kind : Being nice to everyone you meet, online and offline, is a great way to gain friends and make valuable contacts. Don’t be rude and make sure you listen to people and they will keep coming back.

'What is a metric?' 'What is a dimension?'

Metric:

  • Examples of metrics that are a Count is Visits or Pageviews.
  • Examples of a Ratio is Conversion Rate (a quantative metric) or Task Completion Rate (a qualitative metric). 
  • Metrics almost always appear in columns in a report/excel spreadsheet.

Dimension:
  • A dimension is, typically, an attribute of the Visitor to your website.
  • The source that someone came from (referring urls, campaigns, countries etc) is a dimension in your web analytics data. So is technical information like browsers or mobile phones or (god save you if you are still doing daily reports on) screen resolution or ISP used.
  • The activity a person performed such as the landing page name, the subsequent pages they saw, videos they played, searches they did on your website and the products they purchased are all dimensions.
  • Finally the day they visited, the days since their last visit (if returning visitor) the number of visits they made, the number of pages they saw are all dimensions as well.
  • Dimensions almost always appear in rows in a report / excel spreadsheet.

Venice- Italy

Venice- The City of Romance



Venice is a city in northern Italy, the capital of the region Veneto and is world famous for its canals. It is built on an archipelago of 118 islands formed by approximately 150 canals in a shallow lagoon. The islands are connected by around 400 bridges. Transportation within the city is by foot or on water. It is considered by many to be one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Venice was also a very important centre of commerce especially for silk, grain and spice trade and art in the 13th century up to the end of the 17th century. The classical Venetian boat is the gondola, although it is now mostly used for tourists, or for weddings/funerals. Most Venetians now travel by motorised waterbuses (vaporetti) which ply regular routes along the major canals and between the city's islands.
