As social media networks continue to grow, it is important to mind your virtual manners. Two key points to keep in mind. First, it is not polite to ‘poke’. Social websites have made it easy to network with friends and/or colleagues. It has also allowed users to network with others that are not currently in your social or professional circle. While the properties have made it easy to ‘friend’ everyone and further ‘nudge’ them, don’t overdo it; especially if you are promoting your business. Second point, keep your image in check. Given social networks growing popularity, you’ll be hard pressed to find someone who won’t perform a Google, Facebook or MySpace search to gain more insight. Just remember, whatever you post is searchable and leaves a digital trail; especially if your settings are set to public.
