A little something I wrote about the behavior of people who post online, Facebook included. Anything youd like to add? Here are the tips in the article... 1. Don’t complain. Share the fix. Just like in real life, no one wants to hear you complain. If you’re thinking about posting about your bad day, call a friend/family member instead. If you want to take it one step further, instead of posting a complaint post the problem you are experiencing with a solution that helped you figure it out! People will get a negative or positive perception of you online, the good thing is that it’s in your control. 2. If we wanted to learn more about religion or politics, we’d “follow” or “like” the Pope, Dalai Llama, Mitt Romney, or Barack Obama, not you. For most of us, we don’t talk politics or religion openly with strangers. Why? Because it is very divisive. The same goes online. We all have a “friend” on Facebook who posts daily reminders about why we need to vote for X…and if you’re anything like me you quickly unfollow them. If you’re tempted to post something political or religious, do it on the perfect Subreddit, or Religious Forum, not to your friends and connections online who may not always agree with you. 3. Share your hits AND misses. I’m sure you can identify someone you follow whose life is always “perfect” based on the photos and stories they share online, heck you may even be this person. While it is awesome to share your success with friends online, sometimes people can learn more from our failures as well. The family photo that didn’t turn out perfect, the streak marinade that turned out to taste like hot garbage, or the vacation from hell can all be very useful to other people if you share it with them in a helpful way...
