  2. Etiquette Rules Concerning Friending on Facebook While users can ask just about anyone to be their friend on Facebook (unless their settings make them completely private), whether or not they will be accepted is another question. People have many reasons for accepting and ignoring friendship requests, those who are ignored should not overthink it and simply move on. Our Friends in Facebook

  3. How to use Facebook Don't be offended if someone does not reply to a friend request. They may prefer to keep their group of friends to a very limited few or they may want to keep work and social lives separate, among other reasons. friends is a kind of competition. Do reserve friending for people you truly care about and are interested in, not a way of keeping score of your popularity.

  4. Don't ask someone to be your friend more than once. Don't friend someone who you are not comfortable seeing your photos or hearing about your daily life.

  5. Don't friend someone, especially younger Facebook users, if your content would be inappropriate for their age group. Don't make friend requests of your friends' friends if you don't know them. Some Facebook users believe having a lot of

  6. Facebook Etiquette - the 7 Golden Rules

  7. 1-st rule You do not have to accept an invitation tobecome friends with someone you don’t know. Facebook is not a competition to see how many random people you can collect as friends.

  8. 2-nd rule Do not write your status updates in local dialect i.e. ‘I cannae wait’ – this is not big or clever!

  9. 3 this will bring headaches Do not post anything on your Facebook that you would not want your boss or mother to read - you don’t know who your friends know.

  10. 4 Do not poke for the sake of poking!

  11. 5 • Do not Facebook after a few drink – you will only regret it tomorrow.

  12. Consider other peoples feeling before you upload a picture of them. If you look stunning and your friend looks like they has just been dragged through a bush backwards the nice thing to do would be to keep that one for your private collection – or at least ask before you post it! 6

  13. 7 Application overload, most people do not care that you are a Mafia God in Mafia Wars, have reached Mastery level 2 in Strawberries on Farmville or that you have made a peach cobbler on Cafe World and we definitely do not want to get a copy of your star sign every day. If there is an option not to publish you app update please do so.

  14. Photos and Tagging on Facebook The best way to keep control of photos is to adjust the settings on Facebook, found in the upper right hand corner of the home page. The settings allow any photos tagged of a person to be visible only to that person, and not all their friends. This is the best way to keep embarrassing drunken party pics from threatening someone's job.

  15. Read This Next Don't tag photos of your friends on Facebook that could get them in trouble. Don't tag your friends in unflattering photos. Tagging photos of friends dressed in old 80s fashions and with bad perms can be funny, but tagging a picture of them taken last week with food between their teeth is not so funny. Do use Facebook to share photos of vacations, kids, and new events in your life, rather than stuffing their e-mail inbox with the pics. Do add a profile picture of yourself so searchers know which "Maggie Jones" is the right Maggie Jones.

  16. Other Facebook Etiquette Rules • Many of the rules for good Facebook etiquette are the same rules that apply to any online communications. Common courtesy, decency, good manners, and the golden rule apply on Facebook as well.

  17. Don't type something you wouldn't say in real life. You shouldn't hide behind a computer and say hurtful things that you wouldn't dream of saying to someone's face. • Don't share something on your page or in your status that you don't want everyone on your Friend list to know. • Do use Facebook messaging for sharing more private things. • Don't share identifying information such as your address or telephone number. • Don't feel obligated to add applications because friends sent them to you. • Do choose those who already have an application to interact with for those applications that you also wish to participate in. For example, in the Lil Green Patch, click on Greenie Friends and send to just those who already welcomed the application.

  18. Do be careful what you post. While it's okay to vent, remember that if you are venting about your boss, just because he or she is not on your friend list does not mean it won't get back to them somehow. • Do keep any information learned about your co-workers on Facebook to yourself at the office. • Do be careful of your tone. It can be hard to tell when people are joking or being sarcastic. • Don't type in all caps unless you really mean to shout, otherwise it's just annoying and becomes tedious quickly.

  19. Facebook can be a great tool, just remember to use common sense and follow the golden rule: treat others as you would want to be treated.
