Top tips for using social networks
Over on TheSite.org blog, Helen from our online communities team has posted five top tips for using social network sites.
It's all great advice and firmly angled at ensuring social networkers don't get in to trouble by posting the wrong things in the wrong place. I like this on 'real contact':
"It's easy to let social networking become the main way for getting in contact with friends instead of an enhancement to your relationships. It's good to try and be aware of which friends of yours would much prefer a text or call from you than a message online. You might even be that person. It's common for people to misunderstand things they read on people's profiles, or only have half the story and imagine the rest, so if you don't have contact with them in real life or if you've no intention of giving them a call or meeting up with them to get clarification, then remember to take things with a pinch of salt."
