Best practices for netiquette are a great example. They started with email and bulletin boards but are just as applicable to podcast, vodcast, video & audio chat and texting. The tools evolve but the principles remain the same. We could draw the same conclusion with searching. Boolean searches, the use of specific keywords and operators - and or & Not - have been around for many years and they form the foundation for all structured searches on current and obsolete search engines.

Functionally we can look at what different tools do and permit us to do, and learn best-practices for using them. The tools will continue to change and evolve, but many of the functions for creating, communicating and collaborating will stay the same I think. Focusing on elements which will remain transcendent irrespective of point and click and menu differences makes sense.
