Facebook Faus Pax

Top Ten Things I've Learned Not to Do on Facebook:

1. Ignore a friend request from someone I knew well in junior high and high school, especially since they can see I'm friends with our mutual former classmates.

2. Send a friend request to an old college crush who barely knew I existed then and definitely doesn't know who I am now.

3. Write what I think is a funny story about my husband because chances are he doesn't think it's funny...at...all.

4.  Get into a political argument with my Facebook friend's family or friends in the comment section of my friend's wall post.

5.  Post anything overly personal if I don't want questions about it later.

6.  Post anything bawdy or racy or gross, even if I think sexual humor and potty humor are hilarious.  My high school English teacher who happens to be my Facebook friend might not feel the same way.

7.  Gossip about friends, colleagues or family, even in good humor.  Not on my wall, anyone else's wall, or even in a private message.

8.  Forget to send the party invitation to only the Facebook friends I want to come...because having all my Facebook friends, and all their friends attend is just the kind of party I'm looking for.

9.  "Like" and comment on every single picture in a friend's album (stalker-ish).

10. Post links to my blog on my Facebook wall, 'cause even if one post is appropriate, pretty soon they'll scroll down to one that ain't.
