Agreed with the above article, interesting read. What are your views then on the professional Facebook otherwise known as Linkedin?

Whilst on Facebook I do not appreciate random requests/invites/tags and so on, Linkedin seems to work by networking with those you don’t know. I have found it an accessible way to contact companies and individuals alike for work purposes and the reaction has been positive. Whilst informally contacting a stranger, the site – I feel, allows me to do so within the realms of professionalism.

Anyway with regards to Facebook, I completely agree but what are your views on “professional” stalking?

Respect is a good motto to follow, we need more of it.

Naw – I’ve been thinking of this for a while. It’s not ONE person, it is a lot of little things. I am planning a social prune eventually to unfollow/unfriend a lot of people though.

Hah – indeed, subscribing others to Facebook groups is a good one.

Ditto Jeff,

If someone wants my attention in a positive way using social media, don’t tag me in a photo without my permission, don’t automate a DM if i choose to follow you (i’ll unfollow just as quickly).

Social Media is all about establishing a relationship (often with someone i’ve not met), and any relationship I enter into needs to have one simple rule of engagement in place. R.E.S.P.E.C.T.
