Social Media Challenged

Most anyone who understands the concept of blogs, or that can even navigate themselves to this posting for that much, tend to pretty much have a basic if not advanced knowledge of most social media sites. However, there are those out there that stumble through and break every basic rule of public politeness and just plain common sense. This post is dedicated to the social network challenged out there.

For starters, let's take on some advice for Facebook with this post.

1. No one "Pokes" people.

2. FB is not an online dating community, do not send messages to random girls/guys you have never met. This is creepy.

3. Just because you are family does not mean people want you involved in their everyday life.

4. If you refer to the home page as your profile page, stop reading now and delete your account.

5. Just because it is posted on FB does not mean it's true,

6. This is very important.... YOU DO NOT HAVE 894 friends. Most of the people just want to keep tabs on you to see how they measure up.

7. FB is FREE, stop re-posting that stupid post about turning your name blue and it will be free. your name is already blue if you have not noticed.

8. If you "like" a picture of a girl in a swimsuit.... you will most likely be defriended.. so do not do it.

9. Just because you are in a picture does not mean you need to be tagged.

10. Anyone can stalk you.... even of you think you are private.

11. Girls, turning sideways in pictures with your hand on your hip and elbow out does not make you look skinny... just makes you look uncomfortable and unnatural pose.

12. Bosses actually do look you up before you get hired.. I know, I have done this.

13. Guys, even if you look like Brad Pitt in Fight Club, if you have your shirt off in your main profile picture, its a good chance you think more of yourself than most other people think of you.

14. If your girlfriend/boyfriend deletes the account while you are dating for privacy concerns, it's a good indication that he/she is cheating. This too I know from experience.

15. Randomly change you location to another part of the world to see how many people that you have not talked to in years will comment on it. Then immediately delete them because they are paying way to close attention to you.

16. Do not message someone just because they are now "single"

17. Stop sending mass messages. No one likes them even if it is because your son is in the band and need you to come to a yard sale to raise money for a new woodwind.

18. FB is not a place to have conversations when a phone would work.

19. People are mean, FB is more powerful than you realize. Anything that you do not want in public, do not post.

20. MOST IMPORTANT....... DO NOT LIVE YOUR LIFE VIA FACEBOOK. As one of my friends posted not to long ago... less social media, more living. (Thanks Jordyn!)

Hope you enjoyed this, feel free to add to my list.

Peace out.
