The Facebook Commandments

["Rob, grandpa of Ryan, Trevor, Devon & Hannah" <rmslade () shaw ca>]

I've always been interested in "netiquette."  (Almost 25 years ago I created a set of 
"rules of Internet Order" which can still be found, although mostly on mailing list 
archives.)  Recent research has found a number of "commandments" common to 
Facebook users, and quantified them:

The result?

The REAL 10 Commandments of Facebook

Of the 36 friendship rules identified by researchers, these were the most followed. 
Listed in order of endorsement.

1. Thou shalt expect a response after posting on someone's profile.

2. Thou shalt refrain from being disrespectful.

3. Thou shalt consider how a post might negatively affect someone's relationships.

4. If a post is deleted by someone, thou shalt not repost it.

5. Thou shalt communicate with Facebook friends outside of Facebook.

6. Thou shalt present oneself positively but honestly.

7. Thou shalt not let Facebooking with someone interfere with work.

8. Thou shalt not post information on Facebook that could later backfire.

9. Thou shalt use common sense when interacting with someone.

10. Thou shalt consider how a post might negatively affect someone's career.


Disappointingly banal.
