I'm working on such a service right now, and I have to ask: would you pay for it? I think a lot of people in this world today don't know how to carry themselves properly. The way you present yourself is extremely important and it can make or break opportunities for you. So, what do you think?
I might pay $5 for an app that would be sort of my wikipedia on etiquette, but I don't know how you could monetize this as a service - much of the information is available for free online, so it would have to have a strong value-add.
Is it properly internationalised?<p>In the workplace some places expect you to take your jacket off and roll up your sleeves. You're not working hard enough if you don't. Other countries expect you to have sleeves unrolled and tie nice and straight, otherwise you're a sloppy worker.<p>I can definitely see someone (but not me) paying a small amount for that kind of information - the cultural notes you need when visiting some other nation.
Not at all. The very phrasing "carry themselves properly" makes me bristle. From what I've seen of etiquette teaching services, the rules taught have about as much relevance good behavior as as "Elements of Style" has to how English is actually used. Modifying from Pullum's criticism of the latter, it's "uninformed bossiness ... and the result is a nation of educated people who know they feel vaguely anxious and insecure."
I have difficulty imagining how this would work. Etiquette is very context specific and rooted in having substantial background knowledge to employ it properly. Since you seem to think there is some nice, neat little set of rules to follow, I have difficulty believing you are even qualified to teach such a thing. Feel free to try to enlighten me. This is simply not computing for me.
