Instant message (or
"IM") interruptions are like emails you just can't ignore. The little
ping and the way it pops up in front of whatever you're doing make it an
extremely effective way for someone to virtually hijack your productivity at
work.
Also, Social Media is an
important part of the organization, brand or personal identity. Failure to
understand the proper etiquette for these platforms can be damaging and
embarrassing.
Chat, IM(Instant Messaging), Texting Etiquette :
1 )-Try not to be overly cryptic or your
meaning can be misread. Practice communicating briefly .
2)-Use IM for casual topics or
informational briefs.IM is not the place for serious topics or confrontational
issues.
3)-Check if it is a good time to chat.
Refrain from IMing if the other person is in screen share mode

party on the phone is better when texting about sensitive topics

not continue multiple IM sessions and leave folks hanging while you communicate
with others.

IM program. Specifically you are "busy" and "away" message
