Great video chat on FB etiquette

I applaud good writing, whether or not it's a novel. Here's my latest favorite---Jennifer from The Daily Connoisseur created a lovely video on Facebook Etiquette.

If I had a soapbox titled "What Deborah Thinks about Social Media Etiquette" I would say all these things.


Her main premises are:

1. Avoid oversharing.
2. Consider your professional life.
3. Don't steal someone else's thunder.
4. Use caution when photo tagging others.
5. Consider your child's feelings when sharing on FB.

The thing I like best about what Jennifer says is that she cautions parents to consider their children's feelings when posting on FB and all social media.

Sometimes it seems both parents of adult children and minor children want to ignore their kids' feelings and share, share, share, when this may not be what their kids want (or will want). Jennifer cautions against this so graciously, which is why I think this writing is so lovely. 

Here! Here!
