What Are Exoplanets And How NASA Detects Life Beyond Our Solar System
If Everyone Adopted These Simple SOCIAL NETWORKING Manners, THE WEB WILL BE A FAR BETTER Place
It's everywhere, social media has now become the forum where even your job interviewers would follow you, trying to decipher if the information you give about yourself is correct or not. So, like it or not, all the online platforms you use to connect with your friends is also a place where your friends, friends of friends and the rest of the world sees you. It's a little celebrity platform of yours, where first impressions make a ton of difference. Here are a couple of dos and don'ts to make your life better online.
Stop sharing (literally) EVERYTHING!
It's a social platform, not your personal diary. You do not have to tell people about you checking into the toilet, or about the amount of money you spent on that party last night, or try to dazzle them with how glamorous and exciting your life is, nobody really cares. Kardashians do it because they are paid for it. You're not.Spellcheck everything. It makes a lot of difference.
Make very sure that whatever you post is grammatically correct. Whether you're making a point, giving an argument or just stating something, if it's not correctly presented, people will cease to take you seriously. Correct grammar grants credibility, which in turn makes you come off as smart.
Can we be done with those forward messages already?
The world has moved on. People have figured out that their life is not going off track because of that one message they had to send to 150 people. They will figure out better, more logical reasons for things not working out for them. All this, just to tell you, no forward messages please!
Mind the tone you use, yes even on social media.
Here's the thing, you are not present in front of the person, so whatever you say (if not framed well) can come across as rude. And try never to use capitals. It comes across as you screaming at the receptor of your message. Being screamed at has never really gotten people a positive response.
