  • The first thing any connected person should be is receptive.
  • 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.

      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.

    • 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.

    • 4. Share
    • 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.

  Common sense about what many of us fear.

  A 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.
