Social Media Etiquette.

Social Media today is an essential way of connecting and networking with a lot of people. In the past, such a tool was not available and hence etiquette on how to behave on social media is not understood by most users.  Even, the existing etiquette which is for specified for face to face conversations or written communication through emails/ business correspondence is not necessarily understood  by everyone. So, what you would consider a major "faux pax" would be trivial for someone else.

Why then is it so important for us, humans as a social being to understand, what social media etiquette is and what one should  look to desperately avoid while posting or commenting on micro-blogging sites like twitter or on the social network, viz, Facebook.

Well, it is no rocket science if you ask me, as I keep it down to very simple rules which I have formulated from my observations.

1. Why should you be so careful about voicing your opinion/posting pictures on social networks/
2. Newtons third law of action and reaction and how it works on the social network.
3. Do you really need to specify where you work?
4. How to respond when something you posted goes viral/wrong?
