Social Media Etiquette (#SMEtiquette) for the rest of us. How to communicate with others online in a way designed to cause the least amount of friction and ill feelings.
3. • Make sure your intention is clear
• If you hesitate and wonder if it could be taken
the wrong way, don’t say it.
• Clear the air if you are misunderstood – or if
you misunderstood someone else.

4. Connecting with
strangers
• You don’t have to accept every request.
• Don’t limit yourself by automatically not
connecting with people.
• Consider the platform and how you use it.
• Be polite.

Be sparing in
tagging people
(or yourself)
in photos
• Is the person in the photo?
• Are you in the photo?
• Why are you tagging the person (or yourself)?
• Has the person untagged herself (or you) in
previous photos?

A few words
about privacy
• Nothing is private, really.
• Don’t say anything you wouldn’t want publicly
attached to your name.
• Don’t use private messaging to spam others.
• Asking to speak to someone in private before
speaking in public can be off-putting.

Hinweis der Redaktion
The explosion of social media over the past decade has enabled us to connect with people we had lost touch with years ago, meet people we’d never have been able to before, and form new and strong friendships. It’s also enabled us to stick our collective feet in our mouths. Over. And over. And over.
