Twilight Sparkle is a studious researcher. As such, when internet connectivity comes to Ponyville, she recognizes it as the exciting and limitless research tool it is! But can she avoid getting mired in the pitfalls of this marvelous new frontier? Or will she be forever trapped by it's more seductive dark side? Her guide through this unforgiving jungle is Rarity, the only one to have had any experience with the internet in the past. But can even Rarity protect her from the pitfalls ahead of her?
Chapters (2)
This can go into Dark territory VERY easily.
Oh my. No No NONONONO!
Twilight, whatever you do, do not click on page number 100. Everything will eventually lead to porn.
It begins.
This is the second story of 'equestria and the internet' I have seen. But this one shows promise too.
Oh no... this is going to go south FAST.
ohho......
The Internet is for THIS after all....
so....yeah shes screwed....
The Internet? Please tell me Rarity warned her about the dark side of the Internet.
Anyways, I'm enjoying this story so far. I'll follow it.
I can't wait when she visits the 4chan site!
going to be very lulz 
I have a feeling shes feather going to be a very naughty mare or end up as a facebook zombie like the rest of us
I wanna make this clear right now. This is not going to turn into a clopfic. Read the rating. Everyone. As in everyone. So we're not going to be treated to a scene of Twi clopping off to pron or anything like that.
Everyone got that? We good? Good.
On that note, I'm also writing a clopfic. It'll be out as soon as I work up the motivation to actually write a chapter 2.
This is going to be interesting.
This should be good.
Will she look up cupcakes? lol
Shukumei That is't Realism We want Realism Point of Webs

I'm not saying she DOESN'T clop off to net porn. I'm just not writing it.
Chapter two. Just finished it.
Frustrations I can sympathize with! But poor Twi still has so much more to learn, what horror shall she run into next?
And how will she be able to handle trolling, flaming, and the overwhelming immaturity of internet users?! Only time will tell!
Websites and their effects on Twi:
Wikipedia: Becomes brand new mass editor
4chan: Total mental meltdown
Lolcatz: unsure, might nitpick at usage of grammer, offset by kitties
FiMfiction: What the... Existencial crisis
Creepypasta: Lost interest in star gazing and all night-time activities. Including sleep.
Anyways, I laughed at "I got the internet"

Yeah. the thoughts had occured. But I'm trying to shy away from specific websites and take a broader look at internet culture over all. which is why while Twilight won't be visiting 4chan, she will have to deal with...
657867
Trolls. Already planned for upcoming chapter.
658146
Oh this is going to be good.
What about when she discovers browser games? Dear Heavens, I think she might become addicted!
I'm guessing in five minutes she's gonna fall for the old "you are our one millionth visitor! Click here for your free virus" trap.dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/discord.png

I was thinking something like an MMORPG (something I've never played before but often contemplated).
659063 That too, good night. When I started playing them my parents had to pry me off the computer with a freaking crowbar. Then hide the computer so I couldn't get back on.
I am much better now. Mainly cause I am too busy to waste time playing MMORPG's all day long. *Sighs* I miss childhood.
Twilight is going to do an internet. Where's that can of Spam when you need it?! Good story.
How many e-mails did Twilight get.
It's over 9000!!!
659155
I was wondering when someone was going to get the reference.
I declare this....AMAZING!
659036 What about the £5 Botox trick or "one old weird slimming tip"?
Or:
"RARITY!," Twilight called so loud that Rarity heard it from three streets away. "MY COMPUTER CAUGHT A VIRUS! AND I CAN'T FIND THE RIGHT MEDICINE!"
659674
Or maybe "Rarity, the computer thinks I'm a colt. It keeps giving me tips about how to make my penis bigger...
Over 9,000 emails? Twilight sure works fast. It's taken me months just to get up to 6,000!
659743 I can see this happening. Oh so very much.
659273 Meh, it was instantly gotten, but I don't think most bothered to say anything.
658059 As the Sniper says. "Yeah, that seems about right."
Twilight should feel good about getting so much spam. Makes me feel important.
Great stuff so far!
I wonder what sorts of meme exist in Equestria? I shudder to think!
I love the Rarity just casually walked over to the contractors and trolled them into lowering their price. No time was spent on it, this is just a thing that Rarity does.
Awesome! Love the characterization and how you surreptitiously avoid turning this into what we all know we're expecting. Definitely excited to see the next part. Just one possible, very minor, nitpick; it reads "underhanded" when Rarity is talking about spam. Dunno if you wanted to keep that or make it underhoofed (or underhooved). Regardless, loving the story! Please keep writing, I'll keep reading!
This... Is a problem. Twilight needs to realise that the Internet is a Library of Babel.

Good catch. Thanks.
So . . .when does Rarity introduce Twilight to the Rules of teh Interwebs?
... So what happens when she learns of youtube, then 'My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic', then bronies, then fanfictions, then cupcakes... Oh dear Molestia... It seems as though Twilight is in serious trouble...
The possibilities are endless! I shall patiently wait for more.
The only issue I had with this was that Twigt seemed a little childish, what with the whining and all. That seems more Pinkie or Rarity or CCC territory. Other than that, an interesting little fic that has this far kept my interest. As such...
An upvote and a favourite for you!
Sincerely,
ChrisTheCat
Oh dear Celestia, Twilight's gonna discover porn! And when that happens...
Well as long as she's never going to use Internet Explorer......No pony should ever suffer the burden of Internet Explorer.
Also, this is going to be fun. I shall wait eagerly. *Sits down by computer*
Very Entertaining.
The internet can be a dark place, full of evil things! Don't do it Twi! No, don't touch that 'Enter' button! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
689146 don't you mean CMC?
Also this fic will proberbly get worse for twilight, but better for us

Yeah, I also noticed I spelt Twilight incorrectly. Thanks for that.
704338 no Probs
I want to end the rumors now. Yes, there are plans in the future for a chapter called "Twilight Discovers Rule 34" and no, there will be no clop. How will Twilight discover porn and not start clopping? Well, I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
