The other day, as I sat waiting in the hair salon (I had to get my sh*t tight…DABs you know how we do!!!) all the ladies literally went into a detailed 2-hour long discussion on appropriate social networking site behavior. One of the ladies was actually stressing about deleting someone as a friend!!! At first, I thought the discussion was pure f*ckery but then it hit me like a ton of bricks people really take this Twitter and Facebook foolishness to the extreme!!! I mean who the hell cares if someone deletes you as a follower on Twitter or as a friend on Facebook???

Since people seem to not comprehend there are do’s and don’ts in the social-networking site realm…here ya go:

Ø      Don’t be offended if someone hasn’t accepted you as a friend or you have been unfollowed on Twitter. People have many reasons of why they may or may-not accept others as friends or who they exactly want to see on their timeline (Twitter). Everyone has the right to determine who they want in their inner social-networking circle…it’s dreadful to see people get offended over something so trivial and minuet. Just take it for what it is…and simply move on.

Ø      Don’t friend people you are not comfortable with knowing your lifestyle. Everyone has that gut instinct…you know the one that kicks in when you’re about to do something dummy dum. If you get a negative vibe about a person trying to get on your personal page…don’t click that accept button!!!

Ø      Don’t post pics or comments that could get you or your friends in trouble. The streets are constantly watching and with that said you never know who is stalking your page. It could be potential employers who find those drunken, blackmail pics you tagged a homie in…you never know so don’t put yourself or others at risk.

Ø      Do clean out the clutter, don’t be afraid to delete or unfollow. Social sites are for entertainment or networking purposes…and being annoyed does not fit anywhere in the equation. If you aren’t feeling a person’s status updates or tweets…delete or unfollow that azz!!! Feel no remorse…if they’re not real-life friends or paying your bills f*ck their feelings, it’s JUST the Internet!!!

Ø      Do take a chance and randomly follow people but don’t be an Internet stalker. There is nothing worst than a person who stalks out people’s Facebook or Twitter pages. Also, what is the purpose of being on a social site and being anti-social???

Ø    Don’t use social sites as a venue to stalk celebs. If you’re going to follow celebrities on Twitter than at least follow interesting ones. Also, don’t be the person who only tweets celebs and have the audacity to get mad when you don’t get a response back. Trust…we are all laughing at you. Your new name is Desperate Diane or Delusional Dan!!!

There are many other tips I could give but the best one would be…DON’T TAKE THIS SH*T TOO SERIOUSLY. At the end of the day…a social-site should not be the highlight of your day or the center of your universe. That’s a pretty pathetic existence…and DABs/DADs are anything but pathetic!!!
