I'm tweaking my facebook, privacy & identity workshop, so I tidied these up. You can read all of my previous writings about privacy, here, facebook ones are a here, and here are the commandments... LOLSocial media/ Facebook Etiquette· Be aware of what you can control and what you can’t. Make sure to read TOS and Privacy statements – they do sometimes change. Don’t be caught by surprise.· Use preferences and settings wisely to control and manage your social network. Consider what you want to keep private and what you want to share.· Pages (a website) and Groups (discussion forums) provide alternatives to having a personal profile.· Develop your own social media policy and use your social media appropriately. Are you using it for PR? genealogy? To keep up with family? Network professionally? A combination?· Do not spam, spy, cyberstalk, or bully. If you are a victim of those behaviors, deal with them appropriately. Report inappropriate behavior.· Consider carefully who you friend. Be very careful about friending staff that you supervise, students, or children that you may know.· Consider your language and appropriateness of content. Does it match your audience and your social media policy?· Consider if facebook (or any social media) is the best choice for the activity. If you want to create an open event, facebook may be a good choice. It may not be the best way to archive links or discussions.· Remember: social media is about sharing (sometimes called microsharing). Accept that your social network may not have the same political or religious beliefs as you, and they, are well, human.· …finally, if it’s on the web – it’s published. It may be private, but it is archived somewhere.
