Social Networking Now Has Decorum
Writing by Social Marketing Journal on Sunday, June 15, 2008 Comments Off
Social networking will never be the same. Debrett’s, the well known authority on etiquette have weighed in with their version of social networking etiquette.
After research showed that a majority of users had no idea about what was accepted in social networking circles, Debret’s developed their version of social networking etiquette. Here are their rules:
- You don’t have to make friends with people you don’t know. It’s not a competition to see how many friends you can get. Think before you poke.
- Always wait 24 hours before accepting or removing someone as a friend. The delay will help you gather your thoughts.
- Birthdays, engagements and weddings are not ‘virtual’ events. Always send birthday cards or call your friends when there’s important news.
- Consider your friends’ feelings before posting pictures. Put yourself in their shoes before clicking ‘upload.’
- Think carefully about your profile picture – if you don’t want to see it in your local newspaper, don’t put it online.
Really, after reading that set of rules, I don’t think I will be changing my social networking habits at all. How about you? Do you have any social networking manners that you stick to?
