Lesson 3:
Lurking & Netiquette Revisited

Lurking...

Lurking is a way to understand what is happening in a chat room before you actually enter it as an active member.

  • This is similar to what you can do in newsgroups and on listservs.
  • You "listen" to the conversation before participating.

Lurking helps you to get a feel for the interactions in the room and decide whether you want to join in or close the door on your way out.
