As a general rule, following those should keep your Social Networking experience a good one. Hmmm. . .perhaps there is a blog post in there somewhere. :-) Personally, I think that the original 10 Commandments work just fine for Social Networking.

Not just because it is short but it is poignant. I agree with much of it - almost all of it. I do think that you can connect with co-workers though - as long as you set up profiles for the different facets of your social life. My coworkers see different things then my college friends and vice versa. It just takes time and thought. It is an interesting point you make about LinkedIn. The weird thing is that LinkedIn is a two way thing. I get invited by many clients and partners to join their network and I am not in the business of insulting those folks. I reach out and connect with clients and partners for any number of reasons. I don't think any decent coworker/employer who knows how social networking works will read too much into it. I mean, if my boss thought I was looking for a new job every time my LinkedIn activity went off then I would look like I am always looking for a new job. If you are a social networker, you are a social networker. To agree with number 5, you gotta be yourself right? I think what we need to do here is what you have set out to do in this post - teach people what social networking is and the underlying etiquette involved. -PH This might be my favorite post by you ever.

If you are on LinkedIn, you should always be building your profile and adding connections. Activity should always be "up". I would give this career advice to anyone who works for me or with me. “…when their LinkedIn activity picks up.”

For example, the local realtors cant read my wall or see my friends/clients, and you can block certain people from seeing your incriminating photos ( I’m past the college party days so no worries there)." See, I would call this "thinking twice" :) You went through the trouble of filtering access. That's smart. As to LinkedIn, the answer is that everyone in corporate America assumes that folks are looking for a job when their LinkedIn activity picks up. Whether true or not, it causes rumormongering, suspicions, and so on. Just not worth it for people you see everyday or can chat with via intranet, etc. -rsh “I actually dont agree with this as long as you put people on limited profiles.

Is #2 a defensive stance? Did you recently lose an Onboard employee to a corporate poacher who found them through a connection to you on LinkedIn? If you have a coworker who also fits in the friend category, then no social networking with them? I don't agree with you on #3 for ALL Realtors. I think that Realtors whose primary business model is sphere of influence (aka social) farming, should definitely be on Facebook and be connecting with everyone they truely know. In my opnion, for a "social farmer" to not be on Facebook connecting with friends and prospects would be akin to telling them to quit the country club because the cocktail parties might expose some of their shenanigans...God forbid they get some business out of that!
