Facebook Etiquette

With pretty much everyone on Facebook, we use it connect with people and share information. Sometimes, people make blunders on the website but unlike a social mistake made at the dinner table, it can be remembered forever. One of the first and foremost things to remember is to keep private conversations private. No one wants to hear any of your business and if the wrong people do hear something, there are consequences. Losing a job or family are some of them. There are other communication services that can be used for your conversations. Another problem that is related to the issue of sharing is spamming and sharing too much. No one likes spam in any medium, but to the person doing the posting, it might seem more like sharing something they love instead of spamming. And that makes this problem all too common: everyone on Facebook has at least one friend who’s always posting repetitive, uninteresting content. Lastly, there is something called a spellchecker. Use it.

  4. The social sites have no etiquette on them. The phone services just make that worse.

  5. The people that are constantly using internet phones have issues in real life conversations. There needs to be time to unplug.
