MSN: Facebook Etiquette

The Idiot’s Guide to Facebook Etiquette

10. Relationship status is a mutual decision.

Make sure this one is going to stick before confirming said relationship. There is nothing more amusing to read than, “So and so is no longer in a relationship.” Ouch.

9. It's OK to look through your friend's friends for people you might want to meet/date/friend. However, it's not OK to skip the middleman on the introduction.

Who does this?!

8. Ask first before friending a close friend's ex-squeeze.

7. It's OK to remain friends with someone you used to date on Facebook.

Is it?

6. Posting a ton of pictures, videos and comments regarding a recent, failed relationship is a bad idea.

Obviously.

5. As with all things, there is such thing as too much information.

4. Don't friend an ex's new squeeze if you're not actually friends.

Hahaha…why would anyone think this was a good idea? Just because the internet makes it easier to stalk, doesn’t mean you should.

3. Know the difference between the Wall and a message.

Not everyone wants to know details of your private life.

2. Again, the Interweb is not a therapy session and shouldn't be used with severely impaired judgment.

Or too late at night.

1. Do not create a fake page as a way to punish an ex.


Facebook Etiquette for the Criminally Insane

Use spell check, punctuation and correct grammar whenever possible. If it’s not possible, don’t post it.

Insults and discrimination should not be used as flirting techniques.

Don’t call women “single” if you do not know their relationship status.

No matter how many times you call someone “hot”, it won’t alleviate the sting from abusive language or behavior.

Don’t call women drunken crack whores for all of facebook to see. It’s just not nice. Amusing, maybe, but unfriendly.

Always take your meds before posting on facebook. This is a must!
