Facebook Do NOTs
2009 June 19
A humble list.
On Facebook, I think it’s better if you DO NOT:
- Change your relationship status from ‘Single’ to ‘It’s complicated’ to ‘Single’ to ‘It’s complicated’ to ‘Single’ in a span of 5 days. Facebook recognizes your lovelife humiliation as extra juicy news, so it says sticky in the “Highlights” bar of all your friends’ and network members’ homepages.
- Post personal health information: “Weird juices flowing out, Vicodin finally kicking in.”
- Name names. Unless it’s a lovingly funny joke.
- Broadcast the expensive new toys you buy yourself: “Love driving around my BRAND NEW Mercedes” - BARF.
- Do numerous poorly written and highly predictable quizzes every day. People will mute you from their news feed.
All else is fair game!
great list, I think the public fervor for facebook is over rated. I recently learned a lesson about why one should not friend people you work closely with on facebook; right after I un-friended an obnoxious co-worker drama ensued at work from the very person.
