MANNERS FOR NETWORKING

The etiquette authority Debrett's has come up with "five golden rules" for social networking on the Web:
You don't have to make friends with people you don't know. Think before you poke.
Always wait 24 hours before accepting or removing someone as a friend. The delay will help you gather your thoughts.
Always send birthday cards or call your friends when there's important news.
Consider your friends' feelings before posting pictures.
Think carefully about your profile picture. If you don't want to see it in your local newspaper, don't put it online.
