Lauren Conrad on Social Media Etiquette
1:00 PM
I love Lauren Conrad. She seems like a nice person. I find her site entertaining and informative. I came across this post and thought it SHOULD be shared. Honestly i kinda need a reminder about certain things on this Do's and Don'ts entries. LOL.
The Do’s
·
Do remember that your comments and postings will follow you (long, long after they have been shared). If you wouldn’t
say it in front of your grandmother, it’s probably not a good idea to post it
online.
·
Do consider your tone. Are you a “Face-bragger” or complainer? If so,
reconsider your posting strategy because no one likes a Debbie Downer or a
pompous poster.
·
Do think before you tag or upload. There’s nothing worse than someone
tagging you in the most unflattering photo imaginable. When you do tag someone
or upload a photo of them, put yourself in their shoes and reconsider if you’re
unsure. Remember that your online actions can affect others.
·
Do ignore. If someone is being mean to you online or says something you totally
don’t agree with, just ignore them. It’s the graceful thing to do.
The Don’ts
·
Don’t overshare. There is a line that is often crossed and it’s
important to remember where to draw it. No, I don’t care to hear about your
bodily functions or sad breakup rant. Sorry. Some things are meant to be
personal, which takes me to my next point…
·
Don’t get too personal. Arguments, feuds and the like are best kept
offline. Personal attacks not only reflect poorly on the attacker, but let’s be
honest here, no one wants to see it anyway. Also, don’t take things too
personally either. If someone doesn’t friend you or tweet you back right away,
it probably means they haven't been checking their account as often as you.
Give them time!
·
Don’t constantly ask people to follow you or like your page. It’s not
only demanding, but you should let people follow and like what they want.
·
Don’t overload everyone’s feed. Nothing annoys me like someone tweeting
10 things in a row or pinning 100 images all at once. I’m sure more of you are
probably not fans either.
The Golden Rule
Act the way you
want to be treated online.
