Digital etiquette helps organize how people interact online, so that people can communicate respectfully. If you use proper digital etiquette, most people will appreciate that you respect them, and in return they will respect you. If you do not use proper digital etiquette, communicating with you will be harder, and fewer people will enjoy contacting you. This shared respect is necessary if you want to build an online presence or relationship.
Following proper digital etiquette can mean respecting somebody's privacy; you generally don't ask strangers where they live, how to reach them at work, or who they hooked up with last night. If you ask these questions you will offend somebody, because nobody should be comfortable sending this information to strangers.
Another aspect of proper digital etiquette is using online media properly. For example, on WikiAnswers you submit questions to the search bar, you discuss questions on the appropriate discussion page, and you interact with community members on their message boards. If you use a discussion space for a personal conversation you are rudely cluttering the discussion and people who notice won't think much of you.
And last we have the unsung hero of all forms of etiquette, grammar. If you spell check your posts, they will be easier to read, and people will appreciate it. If you forget to punctuate an entire post, people will have trouble reading it and be frustrated with you.
