    What is Social Media ?

    Social Media: An interfaces that allow individuals to interact with


    one another, exchanging details about their lives such as biographical
    data, professional information, personal photos and up-to-the-
    minute thoughts.
    Etiquette – Netiquette?

    Netiqutte: network etiquette or Internet etiquette is a set of social


    conventions that facilitate interaction over networks, ranging from
    Usenet and mailing lists to blogs and forums.
    Etiquette Rule # 01: Profile Picture

    In Social Media your profile picture re-present you. Most of the


    peoples take this quite non seriously. Place your picture, represent
    your true profile. If you do not want to put pictures, leave the media.
    Etiquette Rule # 02: Friend Request

    Friend requests should be sent to people you know on a personal


    level. Use LinkedIn to connect on a professional basis and use your
    personal social networks for friends you know on a personal basis.
    Etiquette Rule # 03: Over Communicate

    Don’t over communicate. Be considerate, post and share relevant


    content. Many Facebook users are becoming more savvy, adjusting
    their friend settings to stop spam. So if you are spammer, chances
    are the content you’re posting isn’t being read by anyone.
    Etiquette Rule # 04: Share Photos & Tag

    Social sites are a great place to share photos. Mobile apps allow you to upload pictures and
    tag your friends in an instant. Sometimes those pictures are a great representation of you,
    but aren’t the best representation of your friends. Remember when you tag a picture your
    friends and their network see the picture. I’ve seen many Facebook posts asking friends to
    take down pictures they feel are in bad taste.
    Etiquette Rule # 05: Wall Post & Private Massage

    Have you ever read a post and thought to yourself, why did they post this
    for everyone to see? Remember that even with strict privacy settings, when
    your friends comment on, or like your post, their friends’ network can see
    that post and its comments in their news feed.
    Etiquette Rule # 06: Don’t use vulgar Language

    Unfortunately, there was a ton of post on Social Media during the recent election.
    It’s one thing to have passion for a cause, side, candidate, etc. but no amount of
    name-calling or threats will make someone change their mind and/or take your
    point of view. Crossing the line by berating others for having different views looks
    bad, and it’s alienating.
    Etiquette Rule # 07: Give Credit

    We read and share a lot of great articles every day on our Social Media
    account. Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus etc. When sharing third-party
    articles, blog posts, etc., always try to include the name of person who said
    that or you can aslo give the link of blog from where you get it.
    Etiquette Rule # 08: Say Thank you

    It sounds simple because it is. Take the time to thank someone who
    comments on your post, share your content or shares your Facebook
    photo. You’d be surprised by the responses that a simple “thank you”
    can get.
    The End !
