Stumbling from one post to the other, I can’t help but feel a little bit
guilty for invading his personal social media space. But hey! Nobody ever wrote
the proper ethics of how social media should be utilized.
Honestly, I cringe a little seeing facebook and twitter posts from his
age. Although this may not come directly from his friends, but tagged and
shared photos seem a little inappropriate for me. But before going deeper into
that issue, let me discuss some social media do’s and don’ts we are not really
aware of.
5 Social Media Do’s
and don’ts you might want to consider
1.
Do keep your
private angst, well, private
We are just here eating popcorn while you and your boyfriend fight over your
petty issues. If someone has taken advantage of your sweet personality, or you feel
a little bit aghast with your boss, please do resist that temptation to tweet rants or any passive-aggressive “You know who you are” status. Why, most of the time,
it will get you in trouble.
2.
Don’t overshare
The new watch, the expensive restaurant, or maybe that “branded”
bag you got from your boyfriend, hey, we are watching. There were various incidents where a friend was robbed because of flaunting too much stuff on facebook. She
tagged herself on foursquare and some crazy people just took the guts to get money out of her. Horrible, but this may
be true. So before you share those little luxuries you have, you might want to
think twice.
3.
Do post about personal
hobbies
You’ll never know who shares the fun with your personal
hobby. A friend of mine often shares article on bike safety. He uses his social
media to help enhance and inform his friends of a very healthy lifestyle he
aims to have. This in return encourages people to take interest in the beauty
of biking. A playlist would also be nice. Music is a universal language, and
who knows, somebody speaks the same words like you do.

Don’t engage in
social media fight
This is common these days. You would normally see
the clash between two opposing sides when it comes to politics, gender fluidity
and current events. I don’t really get it why someone would push their opinions
on other people. Does it even make the world a little bit better? C’mon guys,
why don’t we promote unity and love instead?
5.
Do interact with
professionals, influencers and friends
Not only that this can be a great avenue to expand your ideas and
knowledge on a certain topic, interacting with various people also boost your
creativity, outlook and network.
A recent study has showed that Some of
the many benefits of ongoing social interaction are:
·
A feeling of acceptance
·
The possibility for friendship
·
An increase in self-esteem
·
A chance to have fun
·
Access to social support when needed
And so ladies and gentlemen, I have spoken. My brother might know what I
have been up to with his social media accounts, he might block me or worse,
delete me from his life. But that won’t stop me from telling him what he needs
to know.
Because of
this, Globe Telecom, being a purveyor of digital lifestyle, came out with the
#makeITsafePH cybersecurity and cyberwellness campaign to educate consumers
about online threats and what they can do to avoid becoming a victim. The campaign also
teaches the public proper online etiquette so that they would not become a
source of such deplorable behavior.
