Facebook Etiquette – Things You Should Not Do on Facebook
NO – I will not accept your event invitation if it’s more than 50 miles away (if that).
NO – I will not join every fan page that you join, especially if it involves becoming a fan of a cucumber or some other vegetable!
NO – I do not want to read your status updates every 2 minutes.
NO – “Hukt on Foniks Did Knot Werk Fer Ewe.”
NO – Sending multiple invites will not make me join your mafia or come see your virtual pet or farm.
AND YES – I feel much better already!
Do people ever do things on Facebook that really drive you nuts? Do some of those things include any of the items on the list below? If so, then you’ve come to the right blog!
Here is my attempt to create a Facebook Etiquette, so that people can be less annoying and realize what they should NOT do on Facebook:
- Stop inviting people to your events that are out of range.
Isn’t it better to have 10 people attending your event out of 15 invitees versus 10 people attending out of 300? YES. Only invite people who are likely to come to your events.
- Don’t sync your Twitter to Facebook if you post status updates frequently.
Frequent updates on Twitter = GOOD.
Frequent updates on Facebook = BAD.
- Try to use proper grammar/spelling in your updates.
There is nothing cool about hurting the IQ of your friends, right?
- Don’t always use Facebook statuses to complain.
There is no “WAAAAMBULANCE” feature on Facebook…yet.
- Stop sharing and inviting people to your applications and game updates.
If your friends didn’t care before, they probably won’t care later.
- If you add a stranger, send them a message and tell them why you want to be friends.
Saves you from being labeled “that creepy person” on Facebook
