I think Whitney really nailed it- if you wouldn't do it in person, etc...problem is, individuals have decidedly different ideas about what is apparently socially acceptable, online and off. The sad fact is that the careless comments of others leave you, the hapless recipient, in the unfortunate spot of having to respond and discuss with them directly why their online behavior has made you uncomfortable. Done gently, this can work out fine. Increasingly, though, I feel that that I am going to have to sacrifice the utility that I sought from a social networking site (eg, I want all friends to see comments to my photos, because many of them share activity X with me, and it may be relevant/appreciated by them), because one idiot thinks that's an appropriate place to put very personal and private comments that should not exist in the public forum (and had already been told so, grrr). While not directly in regard to etiquette, I will add that I am hesitant to add Twitter to my communication palette. i simple already feel I cannot keep up with the exchanges in front of me- this feeling prompted recently by Skype, which I now perpetually appear as "not available", simply because this does not equate to "endlessly available"!

I'm a non-techie entrepeneur researching, contemplating, and trying to comprehend the power of social networking. It's a daunting task to consider because the concept is so cavernous and multi-faceted it's hard to know where to begin. The first task is proving to be the most difficult for me, and that is trying to figure out what I want to achieve with the various social networking tools, and can I successfully brand myself to achieve that end. Whew!!! Anyway, if I can figure out how to follow you on Twitter I will...or subcribe to this blog, I will. Thanks for your insight. JT McWilliams Auctioneer Hi Chris,

I googled to try and find twitter etiquette guidelines to see what I can find about someone who is in your network who is twittering too much (17 times in an hour) about nothing (blow-by-blow of the Emmy's) and knocking everyone else's twitter off the screen! Was hoping to find a link to an etiquette article which addresses this and twitter it so said person would get the hint without my openly offending them.
