Ep. 8 - From AIM to Slack: Online Etiquette 101

Hint: DON'T POKE. AND DON'T USE ALL CAPS. In this episode, Carrie and Doug use their elder millennial powers to explore internet history and etiquette online. From the ancient days of dial-up and Yahoo chat rooms to the evolution of social media platforms like Facebook, to the gamer chats on private servers, to the schizophrenic pace of Slack work chats, they explore how online interactions differ in space to space and why necro-posting is bad (Carrie didn't know either). Discover the do's and don'ts of digital behavior, bathe in the nostalgia of AIM usernames and MySpace profile themes, and ponder the impact of rage bating with online anonymity as it relates to empathy and social skills during the most divided and tumultuous times we've ever seen online. Tune in to the People Fuss discussion on NETIQUETTE like you've never heard it before!
