Sometimes people just reallly push my buttons (SPEAKING PUSHING BUTTONS CLICK MY ADS) and I react...usually to quickly.
As much as I am a social media whore, the internet does drive me crazy. This is something I rant about all the time but I haven't been really sure what to do about it yet.
What are the rules of the in-ter-net?
What can you tag, post, mention, or blog about? And what can you not? Or should I say who...
So here it is, my ~internet/communication guidebook for 20 somethings~
First of all, don't take yourself so seriously.
Unless you really know what your doing on these outlets... Chill. Ya you might earn some cool points by being an exclusive twitter-er or whatever, but for reals- slow your roll girlfriend
Second- this is twitter specific- yes, you can make up hashtags for anything and everything but no, you should not.
Thirdly Twitter or facebook is not your cell phone. Ya, it helps you get in touch with your friends (trust me I can attest) but if you have your cell phone... use it... Like to make phone calls.... duh.
I do not need to read your entire fucking conversation with the dude your going to potentially fuck. Do that on your own time.
Fourth.
If you like my status or tweet at me, you must say over five words to me in person.
Come on... that's an obvious one... I hope.
Fifthly, it's like totally creepy to tweet about someone when they don't know it. Sometimes it's real funny but in reality if your tweeting about someone and they don't know... that's kinda bullspit.
Sixth. BIG ONE.
No serious conversation should happen over a text message, or facebook im.
If you have something to say to someone- fucking man up and say it to that persons face.
I have definitely fallen victim to this one.
And I get it... like this shit happens. But it should be avoided at all costs.
AND if this does have to happen, it should have a follow up con-ver-sation.
Otherwise, your both idiots. [I'm an idiot]
(*Side note:from 7 on ward I was just trying to make it to 10...)
7- this one's from the one the only Nate Clark "Make sure you clear your porn history"...
Thank you natedawg
Number 8. Meeting people online is perfectly ok... Ask @laCunto about it!
But make sure your not meeting people on myspace.
Nine. Don't put shit, words or pictures, online that will haunt you. You do have control over this- to an extent. If you wouldn't say it or do it IRL then don't do it online.
And finally 10, remember, he doesn't read your blog and he probably never will.
If you think I don't have credibility to speak on this... you can go fuck yourself. I have taken several college level communications classes
Soo look it up. I'm not making anything up. No really though.
*ADDITION NUMBER 1
Facebook and twitter are not the same thing. You can not add someone you don't actually know, but you can follow anyone you like. Especially if they're funny. You can't judge someone by their twitter, because half of the time you don't even know what they're talking about. You can however, judge someone by their Facebook. Especially if they are acting like a slut.
