How to use this Page

Facebook is a wonderful networking in site in many ways, both for personal and professional contacts, and it can be very entertaining. It’s a great way to stay in touch. But I notice there are some habits people have which are really annoying:

1. Posting a very personal message on another person’s wall for all to see, such as a phone number or details of meeting someone somewhere. There’s email and private messaging for that.
2. Posting messages that hint but do not tell. “Please pray for me.” Why? “I am so happy that I got it!”  Got what? “I am mad at her.” Who and why, and why do I want to know? “So depressed I want to die.” What happened? Should I be worried? Posting hints that make readers curious, with no explanation, upset or confused is rude, especially when there are many comments from friends asking what is wrong and the poster does not respond. If it’s no one’s business what’s wrong or why you are happy or devastated, don’t post about it.
3. Posting inside jokes or plain weird comments no one else can understand. This is a turn off.
4. Requesting a friend you don’t know. I would never send a friend request to someone I do not know.
5. Posting inappropriate or unflattering photos of you or any of your friends.
6. Sending countless gifts or surveys or quizzes to friends. Who has time for all that stuff? I always ignore this.
7. Posting negative comments on someone else’s wall. Rude!
8. Making nasty political or religious statements and expecting others to agree with you. This is ignorant and rude.
9. Bragging about yourself on your wall.
10. Signing up for Facebook, befriending others, but never logging on to check messages or respond to friends. Why sign up?

In addition to these, I have read about and known people who have gotten so addicted to Facebook that it is compromising their jobs or taking time away from family. If you cannot stop yourself from logging in all day and night, you’ve got a problem!
