WWWE Logo Netizens (Citizens or denizens of the Internet)

Netizen refers generally to users of the Internet, bulletin boards, online services, Usenet newsgroups, and e-mail networks.

The term suggests participation in a social and intellectual community with implications of the need for civic responsibility, such as the need to examine the FAQ before posting on a newsgroup, not posting to more than one newsgroup at a time, and avoiding using anonymous FTP during high-use business hours.
