Sure we all go on facebook a lot and there really are no rules but here are two people's opinions on what is good and bad facebook etiquette.
http://www.cnn.com/2010/TECH/social.media/09/08/netiquette.facebook.commenting/index.html?iref=NS1
What to you think about what they say? What is one bad facebook habit you have? What is one habit that other people do that annoys you? Would you be worried if your employer viewed your page?
I think what they have to say is very important because it brings out habits that people may not realize what they are acutally doing. One bad habit I guess it checking it all the time, when I could be doing something else more productive. When they change there relationship staus like for instance, being engaged when your not or saying your single when you are not. No I wouldnt be worried because I try to keep my page positive.
ReplyDeleteI believe that... for the most part... the people that do that, are stupid. And I am lucky because I dont have any inconsiderate stupid friends. We all have a CERTAIN amount of respect for eachother...
ReplyDeleteThe only other bad facebok habit i have.... is not necessarily bad... i hardly message people... like... my family. oh well...
The habit that annoys me is the fact people will de-friend me... then add me again. hmm... what did i do to get de-friended in the first place?
I dont think that an employer would be freaked out by my homepage... they would prolly like me better anywhosers...

ReplyDeleteI think what people say is important in some cases.I usually don't think I'll get bad comments for my status. One bad habit is checking my facebook all the time. It is very annoying when people play games and post something about that game so many times. I wouldn't be worried about paople wieving my page, because I don't put anything bad there.
ReplyDeleteI think they hate on facebook hardcore and the points that they make could be taken in many different perspectives. When it talks about a friend having a bad day and you 'liking' the post...it doesn't mean your glad they had a bad day but instead could mean you also did and know how they feel.One bad habit i have on facebook is cursing and posts obsessing about a 'break-up' annoy me. An employer viewing my page would most likely concern me because they are probably looking specifically for inappropriate content.
ReplyDeleteI agree very much with what they say. One bad habit I have is checking it to often, instead of keeping busy with other things. To me facebook is a way to catch up with friends, but other people use it as drama fest. I agree with the article it is much more easier to send a private message than to post it all over facebook for the world to see. One habit other people do is posting stuff they wish they could say to people but are to nervous to say it to there face.If my employer viewed my page I would be just fine with it, because there is nothing I have done that I need to hide.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a facebook so i don't have to worry about what goes on. I think that peaple should think about what they put on there before they post is for the world to see. I also think that people shouldn't post personal information on there unless they want everyone to know about it. Facebook isn't bad it can just have certain things on there that can make other people mad at you or haveing strangers know everything about you.
ReplyDeleteFacebook is looked at by these people for all the bad reasons when really they havent tooked the time to see the positves it brings. Me personally have never had any bad habits with facebook because i never go on it.But if i had an employer that would look at my page, they can use anything on there against me.
ReplyDeleteI dont really spend a whole lot of time on facebook so i cant really say i have any bad habits...sometimes i like to read what people have to say but i dont really write anything dumb on friends pages or expose a secret like that guy proposing hah.
ReplyDeleteI think alot of what they say is true alot of people don't think about stuff before they do it on facebook. They don't think about how many people will be able to see that or who will be able to. My only bad habit is probably just being on it way too much. One thing that people do that bugs me is liking all the different pages like thirty at a time. Also when people play games, and it post up everytime they do something.I wouldn't be too worried if an employer saw mine I don't think i have anything bad on mine.
ReplyDeleteI agree with alot of what they say. There are people who dont realize that the stuff they put on there wall or someone else's is not just viewed by those two people, but like they said pretty much the whole world. I dont really use facebook as much as i used to cuz my laptop crashed, but my bad habit would prolly be i would FB creep some of the new friends i met just to see what type of people they are. I hate how people use farmville!!! my mother is a prime example! and no i wouldnt care if my employer seen my page i have nothing to hide.
ReplyDeletei believe a bad habbit you can get from facebook is getting on it to much. i think its dumb because you never really even talk to half the people that you have set as "friends". i just canceled my account because I like not having people looking at my stuff. i feel safer in a way.
ReplyDeleteThis article had some strong points to it, but it also gave off a bad "vibe" to facebook. Facebook in itself isn't bad for the majority of users. You just have to know how to respect it and the people who use it and everyone should be fine. One bad habit I have on Facebook is constantly checking it to see if anyone has posted any new statuses when I could be doing something more productive. One habit my friends have that bug me alot is posting all of their personal information. I am proud to say that I have just about all of my employers and fellow employees on my facebook and I'm not ashamed of the content that is on their. If I don't like something that someone has posted, I simply click the "delete" button.
ReplyDeleteThey do make good points about how some people really don't think before they speak. It also holds true to the quotation, "common sense really isn't that common!" Don't get me wrong we all have had or do awkward little facebook quirks here and there that we realize were dumb after the post was already up, but that's what the fancy little "remove button" and "delete" button is for. So if later you change you're mind and decided what you wrote isn't what you meant you can always go back and change it! Sometimes we wish spoken words worked the same way. The only habit that I really think I have on facebook is checking it too much, but there are a lot of things people do that are highly irritating. Yes, a lot of people cry about how their boyfriend is and let everyone on the world of facebook know that they are "single and ready to mingle," but hey we are entitled to our "what's on you're mind" wall. I wouldn't be worried if an employer viewed my page because I more thank likely wouldn't of let them become a friend on facebook. It's easy to set up accounts that completely hide yourself from any search engine on facebook making you the "invisible facebooker!"
ReplyDeleteI think most of what they have to say is right on. According to the two women who wrote the article, my bad face book habit is liking (thumbs up) people’s status. Something that other people do, that can really annoy me… is post something about me that I don’t want other people to know. It brings un-wanted comments and attention. If my employer viewed my page I wouldn’t really be too worried.
ReplyDeleteI think it is cool how we can connect with people through facebook and know what is happening in your friends' lives, but I do not think some things are absolutely prudent to be posted. I have a facebook, but I go on it about once every two to three weeks. People should really think about what they are putting on facebook. Once it is on the internet, it stays there forever. I could care less, at my current job, whatever he thinks or sees. I am not on there enough to have anything drastically weird on there.
ReplyDeleteThey made many very good points about what not to do on facebook. I see a lot of people going onto facebook and posting about how horrible their day was or their so called "sob story", that kind of stuff really annoys me, its funny when people 'like' posts of that nature. If my employer viewed my page, I would not be worried because there is nothing on my page that would change his view of me.
ReplyDeleteI THINK YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO WRITE WHATEVER YOU PLEASE ON FACEBOOK. WHY WOULD YOU CARE WHAT SOMEBODY ELSE OTHER THAN URSELF WRITES ON FACEBOOK? WHAT THEY EAT DONT MAKE YOU !@^&. I BELIEVE THERE ARE TO MANY WORLD PROBLEMS TO COVER THAN WHAT TEENAGERS WRITE ON FACEBOOK.(GET A LIFE/REAL JOB) AND MOVE ON. ONE BAD HABIT I HAVE IS NOT GETTING ON AS MUCH BUT NAW I WOULDNT BE WORRIED ABOUT IF MY EMPLOYER SEEN MY PAGE,WHATEVER MY STATUS IS OR WHATEVER IS ON MY THING IS FOR A REASON.....
ReplyDeleteI don't think i have a bad habit for facebook.Because i don't get on it alot.Also if my employer view my page i would not be worried at all.
ReplyDeleteWhat they said was true to an extent. I don't currently have a facebook right now i'm waiting on someone to create it for me not saying any names.... lol. people put all there business out on facebook and then they wonder why there getting treated differently... No i would't even trip. :)
ReplyDeletehonestly i think this article is trash. i mean people can post what they want. who cares its there profile thats what they made it for u kno.. i kno i wouldnt post anything that i didnt want anyone to see. so its there on decision.. this article definately blows..
ReplyDeletehappy b day to my nigga big t..

rip my lil bro
happy b day 5s up
Rico's lying... BIG TIME!
ReplyDeleteBnash good lookin my niggah.... Yo lil bobble head ass..lol
ReplyDeleteRico's on facebook right Now!
ReplyDeleteI think facebook is stupid. I only have one because i talk to my family on it.
ReplyDeleteAgreed that people should say what the want on facebook, but still people should have enough dignity to censor what is said! That's how america works, people say things that will offend or hurt others, it happens; but that doesn't mean do it all the time and do it on purpose. I know one of my habits on facebook or myspace, whichever, is that when I am angry or upset I tend to lash out on either of those websites. And I wouldn't be worried if my employer saw anything I say, I don't post stuff if I don't want them to here it in person. Also, I hate when people complain and throw fits about them not having everything their way!
