Facebook 101

Raise your hand if you love Facebook. Okay, we all have our hands up. I appreciate Facebook, and love the fact that I'm able to keep in contact with so many people. There are many things, however, that I do NOT appreciate about Facebook. I feel like I should personally address these issues with my Facebook friends, but I'm scared. So, here's a list of things that I would appreciate not happening on Facebook.

1) Please don't take pictures of yourself in the mirror. That drives me crazy. Surely you have a friend, neighbor, or family member who can take a picture of you. Heck, I'll be happy to take your picture if it will keep you from having mirror profile pictures.

2) Please don't click on random links. You would think by now that people would understand that that is what causes viruses. Something that says "World's Largest Baby," or "See Who's Looking At Your Profile" is just not legit.

3) Please find something to do with your time other than playing Farmville or other Facebook games. The problem with this is when I log on, I have 34 entries on my news feed about your new pig or cow. I'm sure it is a fun game, but maybe you could go get an actual farm. 

4) Please don't "check in" every time you move. I do not need to know that you're in the living room, bed, car, bathroom, or other location. 

5) Please don't say LOL when things aren't even funny.

6) Please don't play the numbers game. It's weird to me. If you want to ask me a question, just do it. You don't have to use some code number, and I don't need to make my status an explanation of what I think of you.

7) Please screen your photos before posting them. Too many people put pictures up that are just not right, and they should be embarrassed.

8) Please don't log in to your husband, friends, or parents page and write a status about how great you are. It's annoying.

9) Please don't put TV spoilers in your status. Nothing is worse than when someone writes something like, "OMG! I can't believe Scotty won American Idol!" and I haven't even watched it yet. (On the flip side of this one, don't check Facebook if you don't want to know.)

10) Please check your spelling and punctuation. I know it's just Facebook, but it just makes you look bad when you spell words incorrectly.
