The first thing any connected person should be is receptive
-
Posting, after all, isn't about airing your own views. It's about connecting,
-
We all know those people in our online community who are out to "prove something," to "get things done," or to "market themselves."
These are people we tend to avoid
-
In almost all fields, connecting with others online is the work.
-
The way to function in a connected world is to share without thinking about what you will get in return. It is to share without worrying about so-called "free-riders" or people taking advantage of your work.
-
In a connected world, you want to be needed and wanted. This will, over time, cause resources to be sent to you, not as a reward for some piece of work, but because people will want to send you stuff to help you to be even more valuable to them
-
When you share, people are more willing to share with you
-
In a networked world, this gives you access to more than you could ever produce or buy by yourself. By sharing, you increase your own capacity, which increases your marketability.
-
This is probably the consequence of distance. Online, it is not possible to enforce your will or (beyond a limited extent) to get your way by shouting and intimidation. This means that online communications are much more voluntary than offline communications. And successful online connectors recognize this.
-
Learning and communicating are not merely acts of sending content over a wire. They are about engaging in (what Wittgenstein called) a "way of life." Having a cat is as important for a physicist as having an advanced research lab.

But the idea of replacing your online connecting with busy-work is mistaken.

-

-
Online, people cooperate. They network. Each has his or her own goals and objectives, but what joins the whole is a web of protocols and communications. People contribute their own parts, created (as they say in open source programming) to "satisfy their own itch."
-
The only way to enable people to understand you is to allow them to sympathize with you, to get to know you, to feel empathy for you.

The Web is a fast-changing medium, and you need to adapt to fit the needs of the moment, rather than to be driving it forward along a specific agenda.

The papers you write, the memos you read and toss-all have to do with connecting with people.

The first thing any connected person should be is receptive.
-
it is important to spend some time listening and getting the lay of the land.
-
Then, your forays into creating content should be as reactions to other people's points of view. This will ensure, first of all, that they read your comment, and second, that your post is relevant to the discussion at hand.
Posting, after all, isn't about airing your own views. It's about connecting, and the best way to connect is to clearly draw the link between their content and yours
-
When connecting online, it is more important to find the places to which you can add value rather than pursue a particular goal or objective.
-
This doesn't mean you shouldn't have any goals or principles for yourself. You should; that's what will inform your participation. It's just a reminder that your goals are not the same as other people's goals, and therefore your online participation needs to respect that fact.
-
3. Connection Comes First
People talk about not having time for email, of not having time for blogs. Sometimes they even talk about working without an Internet connection.It's good to take a break and go out camping, or to the club, or whatever. But the idea of replacing your online connecting with busy-work is mistaken.
-
We've all heard the advice to "think win-win." Forget that advice. If you follow that advice, you will always be looking at things and saying, "What's in it for me?" That's exactly the wrong attitude to have in a connected world.
-
In a connected world, you want to be needed and wanted.
-
RTFM stands for "Read The Fine Manual" (or some variant thereof) and is one of the primary rules of conduct on the Internet.
What it means, basically, is that people should make the effort to learn for themselves before seeking instruction from others.
-
To cooperate, it is necessary to know the protocols. These are not rules-anybody can break them. But they establish the basis for communication. Protocols exist in all facets of online communications, from the technologies that connect software (like TCP/IP and HTML) to the ways people talk with each other (like netiquette and emoticons).
-
7. Be Yourself
What makes online communication work is the realization that, at the other end of that lifeless terminal, is a living and breathing human being. The only way to enable people to understand you is to allow them to sympathize with you, to get to know you, to feel empathy for you. Comprehension has as much to do with feeling as it does with cognition.

Christy TuckerA riff on Stephen Covey for living, working, and communicating in a highly connected world. Not just the intuitive common-sense advice you see other places--who else would advise you to quit wasting time playing phone tag offline when you could spend that time making real connections online?
-
The idea behind "being yourself" is not that you have some sort of offline life (though you may). Rather, it's a recognition that your online life encompasses the many different facets of your life, and that it is important that these facets are all represented and work together.
