Online communication creates an illusion of anonymity when it is actually often open for everyone to see and make judgment on.
If this feeling of anonymity was removed and your online etiquette was highlighting for all to see would this change your behaviour?
To attempt to answer this I have created an {e}Etiquette Crawler.
The {e}Etiquette Crawler trawls through the internet making an assessment of website owners’ online etiquette based on the wording of their site; it then marks this rating on the map at their geographic address as a coloured dot.
After a while of letting it crawl the internet you can start to see patterns emerging on the map. These patterns represent general geographic trends in online etiquette and exposing areas of high etiquette contrast e.g. Soho in London.
