Writing in the proper context for your audience is paramount no matter what kind of writing or medium you are using.
Especially for the internet knowing what frame of mind your audience is in and playing to that is the key to connecting with them.
You know how damaging words can be when taken out of context. Jokes work in the face-to-face communication because you have facial expressions, body language & gestures, and tone to use.
All those things in your arsenal make it easy to know when you are kidding, joking, or being sarcastic.
In the written word those kinds of things are much harder to convey. Especially, when you are a guy because using those smiley faces all the time is so gauche.
SO guys lay off the smileys or people might get the wrong idea about you.
Your reader is coming to you because you write fiction, business, or gossip.
Feed that need with the proper context that works for their desires. Make it fun, interesting, and entertaining and they'll love you for life.
