Well,well those who still believe that social media is just a virtual world and it doesn’t matter are seriously deceiving themselves. Facebook has exploded into existence and continuously evolving. These days it acts as a virtual data base of millions of people across the globe. I have seen best friends turning foe over an status update and strangers turning into soul mates! Gone are the days when you had to turn to T.V or newspapers for marketing or connecting people,now is the time of Facebook,Twitter or Instagram where marketing is just about few tweets or updates.

So,you see its not like you are free to post anything as your hiding behind your computer or fondling with your smart phone! Just like you have an image in your neighborhood similarly it creates an online image which actually reflects your entire upbringing.
So Ftiquettes are very important part of Netiquettes.You gotta learn it! Sooner you know the rules better your chances of crowning ‘The popular’ tag. So here I present all about Ftiquettes.

1) FRIENDING/UNFRIENDING
You can’t push anyone.It’s their decision. (respect it!)

2) TAGGING
Don’t tag anyone without their approval.Not everyone is cool about posting their just out of bed pictures on social media.And if anybody untags himself,don’t just tag him again (have some common sense!)

3) POKING
It just not might be fun to everyone.So stop poking you jerk!

4)STATUS
Don’t vent out your inner frustrations or hurt anyone’s feeling.(Remember Karma has it’s own way to bite you back!)

5) UPDATE
Don’t update when your angry, tired, drunk,heart broken or even jet legged!

6) PHOTOS /VIDEOS

Don’t just post those 500 pictures in your smartphone just coz Facebook allows it! Be selective and off course start with the best shots.

7) PROFILE PICTURES

Add at least a profile picture of yours. People like to see with whom they are interacting but don’t just overdo it. (Why are you hiding!)

8) MESSAGES

Try replying immediately to anyone’s messages (off course known people! Not the people who are buried in others folder) and If you want to ignore, suspend your other Facebook activities for a while.( Be sensible!)

 

9) CHATS
Oh!Just stop pinging someone if he/she is not replying.Have some dignity!

10) COMMENTS
Watch your language and always reply if it’s a question asked to you.

 

11) GROUPS
Respect the group rules and use that platform constructively.

12) LOCATION

So, yes FB has this feature that you were drinking water or eating food at the airport or a lounge. But be conscious fibbing your plans and whereabouts (and also your friends)

13) PRIVACY SETTINGS 

It’s absolutely fine and you are not expected to obliged anyone. So you seriously don’t need to add someone ten years back down the lane in your school to your profile. Yes, you have different terms with with people, That is understood! So, you are totally free to keep your Facebook world clutter free. Use privacy settings ( Don’t feel guilty!)

14) BLOCKING

Yes, yes like I said you are not here to obliged anyone. So It’s totally in that Facebook courtesy book to freely block anyone who annoys you, cheats you, irritates you, posts about you, spams you or simply you don’t like his face. (Block! It’s your world.)

15) SHARING
Never ever share anyone s photos without his/her permission. Apply some common sense which posts are meant to shared and which are not.

16) PRIVACY

If you have to interact with the person directly or it’s just an one on one post. Message that person and keep it private.( Like what is the point of telling the world!)

17) HASHTAG

Lesser the hashtag, better it is. More than five  hashtags not cool!

18) INTERVALS
Your every second updates might be irritating to some. Keep on posting but put few hour gaps in between.

19) EXPECTATIONS

Well, keep your expectations in your pocket. If the other person is not responding to your posts then may be he’s not attach to the virtual world as much as you are.(Take it!)

20) BIRTHDAY WISHES

IT’s good to use social media to wish a friend but that doesn’t mean you should stop calling him/her.IT doesn’t prove anything. If your close,Do call! (And yeah! You can always go and wish your partner in the next room directly.No need to post it.)

21) STOP BEING A MANIAC MOM

Trust me! Nobody is interested in how your baby poops,pees, eats, cuddle,spits,sleep  or suck his thumb.Don’t just flood your account with your baby’s pictures (Have some mercy on the baby at least!)

22) STOP BEING A JESUS 

Yes also, Just avoid giving your valuable tips to random people all across the Facebook groups.Even to you friends try limiting it. Everybody have brains and they can easily use it. Trust me! (Stop preaching. It’s irritating!)

 

23) KEEP YOUR AFFECTIONS TO YOURSELF

Wow! It’s great that you guys are so in love with each other that you need to post your every intimate dinner and outings online or post every single mouth to mouth selfies but trust me it’s always a better idea to limit.(better keep it to yourselves!)

24)  LOOKING FOR LOVE

Yes, few people keep looking for love all across this virtual world and keep sending requests (sometimes the girl/guy even die laughing or by a mental breakdown by the stunts  these stupid people perform). Dudes seriously, go get a life!

25) ALL THOSE GOD’S PHOTOS

So, I ‘d die of a horrible horrible death or inherit ten years of bad luck if I don’t like that God’s photo or share a baby with cancer pictures or type amen to that kid’s photo who dies of electric shock! Mannn…. Like what kind of  sick person would do that? (Stop! Don’t post such pictures. It’s disturbing.)

26) JUST DON’T POST EVERYTHING

One golden rule: just don’t post anything that can be used against you later! (yeah, right so all those abuses you were showering on your buddy? Just keep it to yourself.)

27) PRESENT YOURSELF POSITIVELY AND HONESTLY 

Do I need say more? It’s clear. Out of all the Ftiquettes this one’s most important. So, A fake profile proves that your smart ( yes, A**hole smart!)

28) NEVER EVER HURT A FRIEND

So, just because you don’t have guts to sort it out face to face or man to man, just don’t be a sissy and post nastily about your friend( even enemy). None of your posts should hurt a friend’s feeling, career or relationships.(Mind it!)

29) STALKING
Just coz you are not following girl of your dreams on roads doesn’t mean you have all the rights to do it online.Have some shame!

30) PUT YOURSELF INTO OTHER SHOES
Before posting/commenting/tagging about someone always put yourself in his/her position and whether you have liked it or not.

31) DEALING WITH NEGATIVE POSTS

nobody bothers if you replied back to a negative comment referred to you. Simply don’t engage. If it’s important to participate into negative posts think twice and then post if really necessary.(I know tough world!)

 

32) STOP BEING A JERK
Last but not the least just because you are hiding behind a computer don’t mean you can pour your sleazy thoughts all across the social media. It just reflects that you are not a man enough.( You heard it right!)

Don’t be bogged down by these Ftiquettes. It’s same as applying your offline social rules to your Facebook interactions. Just use your common sense and be aware that not everyone is honest on Facebook. Use Facebook to maintain your relationships not break it.

So,Happy Facebooking!
