Web Smarts 

Like street smarts, someone who has web smarts or is “web smart” is someone who knows how to deal with difficult or dangerous situations, except it's primarily used on the internet as opposed to when you're in an urban environment. Can be useful as being either street smart or book smart.

Someone who is web smart knows the “rules of the internet” from basic online etiquette to the more complex nuances of online communication. Since most of the global net hinges on written communication, someone who iss web smart are able to figure out the following:

1) What websites you can trust for information and which ones are complete BS.
2) Get an idea of what kind of users are acting in bad faith, such as trolls, scammers, hackers, etc.
3) Distinguish what to do and what not to do when something seems off in private communication.
4) Generally can be more personable online since they know how to keep people's attention as they read posts.
5) Knows what to post and what not to post, where anonymity matters, what information they should keep off the internet.

GRANTED, these are not the only things that someone who is web smart are able to do depending on what they do for a living and there are disadvantages to them in the same way being book smart or street smart has them. HOWEVER, at the very least being web smart can help keep one's problems on the internet from leaking into real life.
