Don’t take social media lightly:Here today, gone tomorrow is not an attitude that you can afford to take when it comes to developing a social media community. Updating your online status twice in a 2 hour period and then once over the next week is not good practice. Make a commitment to sit down for an allotted period each and every day to respond to people, ask questions and share great content. Don’t highjack other peoples’ subject matter.Don’t take somebody else’s content, change the title and brand it as your own. That is not the way to go about things. This process is what is known as “scrapping” and is the scourge of many content creators on the internet. Instead, add a comment to the piece and share with your audience or drop the content creator a line and ask if it would be ok to use the content providing you attribute it correctly. Most people who create content do so with the intent of it being shared. Share it and attribute it. Thanks |

In Response to Etiquette in Social Media: If you have any others, please put them here: Posted by louisie Unless you're absolutely certain about privacy settings (and who is?) don't post anything on social media that you wouldn't mind seeing on the frong page of your local newspaper. Facebook gets the "most obscure privacy settings" and the "most likely to be posting to more people than you think you are" award, but basically any social media service falls into this category. (Twitter, by definition: everything is completely public.) Leo A. Notenboom ----------------------------------------- Tech Questions: http://ask-leo.com Everything else: http://leonotenboom.com |

Well, here is a tidbit, that we shouldn't take for granted: “Every day, we create 2.5 quintillion bytes of data” And, to save you looking it up, a quintillion is 1 with 18 zeros – a billion billion. What’s more, these numbers are going up all the time: by the end of this year, we’ll be creating massively more bytes of data, adding to a store of information that is inconceivably vast. That's 2,500,000,000,000,000,000. That's Bytes per day!!! and , there are 365 days per year, well, the number is BIG! Anyone want to do that math?

This really isn't that big of a deal ... but it still gets my goat! lol. Is it just me? ... When I post a funny cartoon/meme or video on my Facebook wall and then a "friend" shares it on his/her Facebook wall ... but doesn't even leave a quick "like" or a comment on your wall saying they thought it was fun or funny or cool. ... I know a ton of things get shared all the time on social media, but it would only take a quick second at the very least to click on the "Like" button before sharing. :-) I know I always do, often even giving credit to the person I shared it from. |

In Response to Re: Etiquette in Social Media: ... it would only take a quick second at the very least to click on the "Like" button before sharing. I'm just happy that they shared. Personally I've always felt that a Share actually implied a like. In fact it's better than a like since the person liked it so much that they wanted to share it. There's no real value to me to also have them hit Like. And I believe that if you upload a photo (for example) and someone else shares it then you show up as the source anyway when someone shares it. They may not feel the need to add an attribution since it's already there. The folks that get me are the ones that download the photo, then upload it again so that it looks like they're the originator. There are a couple of almost-valid scenarios for that but nonetheless it feels wrong. But that's just me...

Try to avoid telling people to "do some reading" or "get a clue" when commenting on or correcting something they've posted. Okay, so Dr. Pepper isn't actually carbonated prune juice--you can make the corrective comment without implying that the previous poster was stupid. |
