Facebook etiquette - who are my real friends?
17/06/08 15:02
An interesting article here about how an etiquette bible has come to the rescue for online social networkers who are at a loss about how to behave online. The online bible has been developed to help those who don’t know what to do with the ‘pokes’ and unwanted messages from ex-partners, or declining friend requests from the dodgy friends of yesteryear.
The interesting consideration about this article is that in twenty years time Generation Y will be the first generation of parents fully engrossed in social networking and the way in which friends will be determined will be very different. Friends of friends of friends can be included in the ‘circle of friends’ and friendships can be made and lost by the click of a button.
Friendships may be determined by whether one is invited into someone’s personal physical space, or invited to comment on their online profile and engage with their second (or third) life they lead.
Who’s, who in the friend’s world will certainly change in the future. What are your thoughts?
