Social Networking Etiquette feedback from the community: the good, the bad and the just stop it!
Today I was interviewed by Fox News 8 ( Bob Buckly & Stewart Pittman @Lenslinger out of Greensboro, NC about Social Networking Etiquette. I was recommended to discuss the topic by Jennifer Ruggiero a long time twitter follower and friend who I recently met in real life at a Tweetup in Greensboro. As I prepared for the interview I made a few notes and asked via ping.fm the following question: What are some good & bad examples of Social Networking Etiquette that you have seen?
Below are my notes, a few other blog post on the same subject and some feedback I received from Brighkite, Twitter & Friendfeed.
Brightkite Feedback:
ocell: “Bad: anything automatic. Auto followback, autoresponders, autoDM… dilutes real social interaction and relationships.”
ninanord: “Having a hard time understanding why some people constantly use ie Facebook and Twitter to tell others how ill they are and what kind of bad mood they´re in… Easily turns into oversharing in a sphere where so many people talk, not knowing eachother personally.”
Twitter Feedback:
Bad:
Good:
The interview will air on TV this Friday and the reporter asked me a closing question, “If I could only give people just one suggestion for social networking etiquette what would it be?” I told him for people to be themselves.
What would be your suggestion?

Have Celebrities ruined Twitter and how to avoid the noise.
I just watched the “Celebrity Twitter Overkill” video on Current.com and my first reaction is wow, that’s sad. I remember the good old days when being on twitter was cool, the most followed accounts on twitter were Scoble, Kevin Rose and Twitterrific. If I was new to Twitter and watched the video from Current I would think Twitter was the celebrity TMZ follow me contest or something. Take a look:
There are plenty of ways to manage the “celebrity” noise on Twitter but I think with all the main stream attention from media, music artist, TV personalitis and more that has kind of put a sour taste in some of the “old school” Twitter community members, thus seeing more geeks flock to Friendfeed. Either way here’s four ways to avoid the celebrity overkill on twitter or to cut down on some of the twitter noise all together.
1. Don’t follow the celebrities (duh)
2. Create a separate twitter account. I’ve create a NC friends only twitter account and I love it. It keeps me connected to my IRL friends and the local community.
3. Ignore trending topics; in the past 24 hours Rihanna, Cassie and Soulja Boy have all been trending. (not interested)
4. Have your twitter notifications emails send to a different email address.
Here’s the first video: Twouble with Twitters
Do you think celebrities have ruined Twitter or are you tired of all the Twitter news already?
