Pm etiquette

I have noticed in 'comments' on blogs since I joined WA that people say "I will PM you later" or something similar. I personally have sent a few PMs but I am often uneasy that I am invading somebodys' private space.

What is the correct way to do this? Should you ask permission first? Is receiving or sending a PM a bit like receiving or sending a letter from a friend or acquaintance in the old days?

In the new World of social media and Affiliate Marketing, are there accepted norms and practices that we should know about, or does it vary depending on the media in question. Getting a Personal Message is quite nice in my opinion.
